- Diner-Rama 2001
-
- Tours, talks, and cool displays could be found at Diner-Rama 2001, sponsored by the American Diner Museum, and headquartered for the weekend at the Pittsburgh Regional History Center.
-
- Here are some photos of the event....
-
 
- Me and Kevin Patrick courtesy of "Photo Girl" Linda Gottwald (that's her at the Yakkity Yak Diner).
-
 
- Left, Jen Johnson with Chris Zinn of Zinn's Diner at North Apollo's Yakkity Yak Diner. Could you identify its barely-visible roofline in the upper right as a '50s O'Mahony?
- Right, Laverne Yorkgitis at her Laverne's Diner, a '59 Silk City with a new ceiling due to a long-ago fire.
-
 
- Left, Kevin and Daniel Zilka inside the Historical Society's mothballed Serro's/Willow Diner, a 1938 O'Mahony.
- Right, Diner fan and researcher John Shoaf at the Park Classic Diner in Monroeville, a new Kullman.
-
 
- Left, Paula Sacchi and Denise Bass at the original Ritter's Diner, a 1951 DeRaffele now resting at Station Square.
- It's the first diner I recall seeing as a child in the early '70s.
- Right, Greg Anderson, Frank Bruno, Pat Fodero, and Daniel Zilka at the Saturday night event.
-
- The former Dick's Diner of McKeesport rests south of Blairsville,
- still advertising (barely) "never closed."
