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!

Thanks John. The Snot Blues...hmm. I am a musician too!

Hey, me too:-) “I got those schleimy, (crimy!), studs on the side (see?),
downright, uptight...Snotty Blues!” (‘course, I’m more of a player than
composer;-)
Oh, yeah. Now you need some wizard, 50’s 8 wide cars parked out front and a
marquee. I have seen some really cool LED lighting kits in hobby shops that
simulate neon signs-- that would be really k3Wl!
