Looks good, I actually think I remember it now. The only thing I see missing
is a nice sign running down the center of the roof with the diner logo on it.

I think we could stay true to the Spamcake while adding a special local
"flavor" to the design. Heck there are even variations in McDonald's (The fast
food joint, not Tom ;-). I won't have any time to do anything until well after
the NELUG train show at the end of the month but I might try something that
stays true to the theme but adds a local feel just as an experiment.
