EVEN THE DINER IS CLOSED

Not out of business but not open for business. I don't know why it is so bright inside. As the saying has it, the lights are on but nobody's home.

If it looks extra perky for a restaurant of this sort, there's a backstory. Some years ago it was used as a movie set and the producers gave it a new look. The movie was based on an engaging novel by a St. Louis author. I was his lawyer at one time and I wrote a post about it 12 years ago.

Reading a few reviews it seems that the novel is better than the movie. Probably snart to leave the lights on, might help keep thieves away.

You made me think of the Eat Rite diner. When I was working there, we would sometimes party too much and end up at the Eat Rite for and early morning breakfast.

That's a small diner. I wonder if they will reopen after covid.
Interesting story on your previous post about this and the movie.
