    I think some people look at their local chain diner the way some look at their local mom and pop restaurant and have nostalgic ties to that time/place. Not everyone lives in God’s Land, New Jersey, and has a plethora of actual diners to go to.

      Suppose that could be the case. I live in an area which still has some mom and pop places (or at least are locally owned and operated) but that’s being shortsighted in regards to the rest of the American states as I’ve traveled less in my older years.

        Im obviously in God’sLand and have many local diners to choose from. As a kid in high school in the 90 my area larger cliques of kids formed based around which diner and 7-11 you hung out at.
