If you're talking great diners of the USA you have to include the
Downingtown Diner in Downingtown PA.
It was a classic dining car diner and appeared in a film that we all must
have seen in our youth.
... Unfortunately it's been gone fo quite a while. Among the notables that
have been there was Steve McQueen...
Any guesses on which film?
Greg Petrolati Champaign, Illinois
That's not a leak... My car's just marking its territory...
