In the News - Al's Diner

We've already mentioned this on Saturday in our Weekend Roundup feature. Today another article has appeared online about the competition to be on the reverse of the Massachusetts state quarter.

Holly Angelo talked with Costas "Gus" Mathews about his diner, a candidate on the ballot in the Hampden County region. He's up against quite a list of viable alternatives. Two other diners also made the list; Miss Worcester Diner and the Rosebud.

The diner is quintessential Americana. It's already been featured in numerous advertisements, was on a U.S. Postal Service stamp, so why not on the back of a quarter? We encourage you to vote by clicking on this link.
