DINERVILLE

DINERS - Our primary focus is ‘true' diners-purpose-designed, factory-built eateries, designed to be portable (some more than others) and shipped to site (sometimes in more than one piece), which have been around since the late 19 th Century and are still being made. For this category, we focus as much on the structure itself as what it's being used for, which is why we include ones that have been converted for uses other than serving food. Like classic cars, each has a maker and its own story; some are specific models or styles, and many have serial numbers. Many have been modified or remodelled, sometimes beyond recognition. In cases where a chain brand occupies a true diner, we count it for the sake of the structure... A celebration of diners, eateries, snack shacks, and more of the present and past
