In the News - Mill Pond Diner

Fox 25 Boston continues their South Coast Massachusetts diner tour. During the Wednesday morning broadcast, one of their segments is called "Diner Wednesday." This morning Doug "VB" Goudie visited the Mill Pond Diner in Wareham, Massachusetts. Take a look at their video for glimpses of this 1950's Jerry O'Mahony, Inc. built diner's interior.

While we don't have "VB"'s future schedule, or the ability to predict where he will be next, there are two other diners in the area he hasn't visited. These diners are also early 1950's O'Mahony built diners. We're talking about Angelo's Orchid Diner and the Shawmut Diner, both located in New Bedford, Massachusetts.

During the Fox 25 video current owner of the Mill Pond, William "Biff" Goyette reminisces there's been a diner there for as long as he can remember. He spoke of a small diner, with eight or twelve stools and a door that slides--possibly an O'Mahony. We don't have anything on file about this diner and would be interested in hearing more about it.

Our diner database has entries about other former Mill Pond Diners, one of them being a Worcester Lunch Car Company #816. We aren't sure when it arrived, though it returned to Worcester around 1959. Number 816 currently operates in Spencer, Massachusetts as Charlie's Diner.

A Mountain View Diners #309 built diner became the new Mill Pond, until about 1964 when it too was replaced. This time the diner moved a short distance away to nearby Mattapoisett. Since 2003 #309 has operated as the Nest Diner.

You might wonder where the current Mill Pond Diner came from. The O'Mahony diner was once located about thirty miles away in Fall River, Massachusetts where it operated as Earnshaw's Diner.

In the News - Al Mac's Diner

Last night we had a sense this might take place. Fox25 Boston has a feature called "Diner Wednesday." The premise is Doug "VB" Goudie travels to diners in Massachusetts, interviews the owners and they put together a segment for the show. During the Wednesday morning Fox25 live broadcast, Mr. Goudie is at the diner and from time to time the anchors check in with him. He'll be chatting it up with the owners or customers along with doing a commentary on some topical event or issue. We were there on December 3, 2008 during his broadcast from the Nest Diner, in Mattapoisett, Massachusetts. A brief blog entry was posted here.

Today, Mr. Goudie traveled to Fall River, Massachusetts and visited the 1950's DeRaffele built diner known as Al Mac's Diner. Fox25 has a video posted that may be viewed here.

We last visited Al Mac's, this past New Year's Eve and blogged about it here.

In case you weren't able to be there, Doug "VB" Goudie from Fox25 visited the Tin Man Diner in North Falmouth, Massachusetts this morning. Click here to see the video.

We've written a number of articles about the diner. The diner was built by P.J. Tierney & Sons, Inc. in 1927. Click here to read our first blog entry written in June of 2008. Near the end of this article is a link to all the articles we've written about the diner.

"VB"'s live broadcast from the diner was one of a series visited for the Fox25 "Diner Wednesday" feature. He was in the area a little over a month ago. About twenty-six miles from the Tin Man, he visited the Nest Diner in Mattapoisett, MA. We were there for that live broadcast on December 3, 2008, and wrote about here.
