Since 1944

I love this sign for the Avenue Diner which has been in this spot at Davenport Rd & Avenue Rd since 1944. It lights up at night. Inside it is a cool retro diner that takes you back many decades until you look out the window and see all of the new condo buildings that are taking over the area.

    It certainly does seem like a throwback to another time.

    Too Funny, I just watched the film Double Indemnity from 1944.

    Nice kind of americana sign. I only miss the neon light letters.

    I like the idea of an retro oasis, with food!

    Wow, that is a long time, and it makes me wonder kept in the same family? Either way it's very cool.
