Weekend Roundup

Time period covered 1/18/2009-1/24/2009

The Weekend Roundup feature draws from some of our postings during this past week. It's purpose is a quick summary and one area of the blog where we usually don't include map links or pictures. At times we may include other items here not making the blog that may be of interest to our readers. We'd like to hear your comments or suggestions.

Summary

It was a quiet week for diner news. In the news on Wednesday was an article about Denny's. They are not going to build a new restaurant at the former Destin Diner site after all.

Our work continues on creating individual diner pages. Let us know what type of information you would like to see appear on the page. If there's missing information that you would like to fill in or correct, leave a comment on the page.

Diners for sale.

We continue to get a good response to our post mentioning the buyadiner.com site. We are always interested in hearing about other diners that are for sale.

Additions / Deletions

One diner was added to the database. It looks to be a 1990's Starlite diner. There were no news reports of any classic diners being demolished, constructed, installed, or moved. Please let us know if we've missed something diner related happening this past week.

The following diner was added to the database:

Walt's Klassics At Olivers
2420 S. Oliver St.
Wichita, KS

Our first poll question.

There's been a good response so far and we thought others might want to participate. We've decided to extend our poll question to the end of the month. Would you be interested in becoming a member of a worldwide diner organization? This organization would seek to preserve, educate, and inspire the appreciation of diners and their history in future generations. Your input is very important and we ask that you take a minute and vote.
