Red Diners

Time to celebrate the cheery color red again.  My theme this week is diners.  Many were known for their homemade desserts, too, and a good time was always had by all, right?  There was music, friends, a warm place to chat, good food, friendly service, and a cheerful atmosphere.  Plus the color red is known to make people hungry.  Enjoy the pictures!

    Ah, truly vintage Americana! I recall a diner I patronized as a kid was in an old trolley car. It had a jukebox!

    Cheers,

    This is a lot of fun -- a real blast from the past. I wonder what trouble one could find at a dessert diner.

    Awesome - these are right up my alley! I love the red and white booth seats, and the formica counter top, and the Sky-Hi is so totally cool! Thanks for sharing these!

    This was such a great post! I've always loved diners, and when we go to Wisconsin for summer vacation, we go to several of them. You cannot beat the food and the atmosphere!
    Happy REDnesday!

    Love diners. Wish there were more around.
    Jukeboxes, and counter stools (especially the kind one can swirl on,) and always the best desserts! At a diner you have to have a piece of pie.

    There is just something cool about diners. I just was visiting my FIL today and his first real date with my MIL (who died in Feb) was to a diner near the military base. He said there was a song (he told me the name and I wrote it down, but it is out in my car!) that played 3 times and it was very romantic. I really laughed at romance in a diner!! But it was romantic just to think about it!

    I enjoyed seeing all you shared today on so many interesting things. I was around during this time frame. Once in awhile you still run across one that has been kept up.

    I love going to old diners that have been rehabbed. I wish we had more in my area, it's a shame so many just get disassembled to make way for parking lots and other unattractive things. I loved looking at all your photos, happy VTT and thanks for sharing!
