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. ;-) David (15 years ago, 13-Aug-09, to lugnet.town)
