Need some authentic memorabilia for a new American Diner we're opening soon and someone has mentioned Hershey (yes where those dire chocolate bars are made).
Apparently its over 10000 stalls?! If anyone has been or knows of any links to interesting websites it would be a great help.
Do you have any 50's memorabilia you might like to donate to such a worthy cause....cash or burgers offered in exchange.

My neighbour goes most years with his friend who sells off all the wheels and tyres from people who buy new Caddies and have low profiles fittedbiggrin

It's big, impossible to get round it in one day.

Diners as I expect you are aware began life with food being served from old railroad buffet cars. Most do not maintain their railroad heritage, some do.
One diner chain is very much car oriented "Nifty Fifty"

My local one has car shows every Wednesday.
Play 50s and 60s music, their decor is half 50s cars (57 Chevy a favourite)
and half 50s menus on the wall.
The real menus reflect current day pricing biggrin

Breakfast all day type places good coffee.

It actually starts in about 7 hours... on through the weekend.

5 days is not enough time to see it all, it's literally THAT big.
