Hello,
Please bear with me.....I think this is a neat story....
A while ago I decided to build a 1950’s style diner. I work for an art book
publisher and looked at a book of diners and picked one to replicate. The
diner I chose was Al Macs. I had a plan and ordered the parts from Bricklink.
While waiting for them to arrive, I decided to research the diner I was
building. I discovered that it was located in Fall River, MA, an old mill town
in the south eastern section of Massachusetts. My father & his family are from
Fall River, so I asked him if he’d heard of Al Macs. He said: “Not only have I
heard of it, we used to own it!” I thought it was a wacky coincidence that the
diner I chose to build, was once in the family. That made me want to do an
even better job with it.

What a great story and what a great diner, Jonathan! The dual, SNOT blues
really give a nice, retro look. What would be nice would be an actual pic of
the diner to compare to yours. Great work!
