That's quite a town you have there.  Is Al's a diner?

Thanks.  Yes, Al's is a Diner.  Do you mean a real life diner?  Assuming you do,
there is actually a pretty cool story about that.

There is a diner in Fall River, Mass. called AlMac's. I havee a book on
Photorealistic painters - a number of whom paint pictures of diners.  I was
looking through the book and came across AlMac's and decided to build it.  While
researching it I noticed it was located in Fall River - where my father is from.
I asked him if he knew of it and he said he did and that it - along with a super
market chain, called AlMac's were once in our family.

Pretty cool, I think, being the book had many diners to choose from and I chose
to build that one before knowing the history.

Thanks for reading (and for looking at my photos.)

Best,
Jonathan

Neat story.  That's quite a coincidence!  Maybe it's some kind of omen.  If you
keep making real life buildings in LEGO, eventually you'll own them. ;-)
