Today's Daily Gazette reports on the progress to restore and reassemble the diner's iconic neon sign.

As seen in the picture, the sign once served as a beacon to travelers along South Neil Street in Champaign, Illinois. In 1976 the diner closed and this 1956 Mountain View Diner built diner was moved to several other locations in Illinois.

Though it wasn't until late November 2007 that Tom Ketchum brought the diner to Princeton, New York. The diner's restoration has been chronicled in mountain_man_ny_2's flickr photostream.

We'll post more information about the diner and its restoration as it becomes available.

In the News - Floyd's Diner

This piece of information just came across our desks. Anthony Clark's article in the Gainesville Sun reports Floyd's Diner has been sold.

It's a one sentence mention and we'll post it here.

"Instead, he closed the deal Monday for Floyd’s Diner in High Springs to go to a Michigan family that owns three diners there."

We instantly thought of Jonelle and Randy Roest, owners of Rosie's. Agilitynut's website has a listing and pictures of the diners at "Dinerland" in Rockford, Michigan.

We'll post more information here as it becomes available.
