Retail development prompted the closure of this Huntingdon landmark. Jerry Grubb wasn't going to let his diner be demolished. During the summer of 2007 the diner was removed from its foundation. Though its future is in question. Cori Bolger of the Altoona Mirror reports the diner was moved a short distance up the road and is stored on the Huntingdon Motor Inn property.

Jerry Grubb is willing to give the diner away. However, you will need to move the diner to a new location and put it back into service. Jerry may be contacted at (814) 643-1133.

Yellow Rose Diner - Towanda, PA

edited
As with all diner restorations, we believe it's important to keep the public informed on your progress. It serves to build anticipation which can translate into increased business once open. We followed the restoration of the former Tommy's Deluxe Diner through its website gallery. It recently opened as the Road Island Diner. Our blog posts about the diner are some of the most read.

There's a restoration project being chronicled on YouTube on that you may or may not know about. Currently it's named the Yellow Rose and is located in Towanda, PA. Gordon Tindall's been working on what they've identified as a rare 1927 Goodell Dining Car Company diner. This isn't the first diner that Gordon's restored. The previous is known as the Red Rose and is currently for sale.

We subscribed to Joseph Dupont's channel when we received notification about his videos of the restoration project being posted on YouTube. In the last video we saw Gordon installing the wainscoat boards. A new video was posted a few days ago showing the result of his hard work and determination. Be sure to watch the entire video as Gordon speaks of his next tasks in restoring the diner.

We should note that Mike Engle brought this diner from Ohio and began restoration. He created a page which includes pictures and history of the diner.

Zemo's Diner - Fairfield, CT

Back in November 2005 the former DeCoven Diner was moved from Duncannon, PA to storage in Monroe, CT. A vintage picture of the diner may be seen in flickr member dinerhotline's photostream here. While in storage plans were made to reopen this 1954 O'Mahony diner at a site on Duka Avenue in Fairfield, CT. Today's news reports the move is on hold until next year. Read the entire article here.

The approximate future location of Zemo's Diner, is four tenths of a mile from the former Fairfield Diner and Vegetarian Enclave in Fairfield, CT. That diner closed in October 2005. We have a picture of the Fairfield on our flickr site here.
