I used to live rite across the street from this diner.  It is in really rough shape and most likely will fall victim to the wrecking ball.  It would be nice to see someone relocate and restore it.  Unfortunately Wawa is involved.  They dont wait for anything when it comes to construction.

hell for all that aluminum/stainless and other recyclables...a group of guys should get together  "dismantle" and scrap ....lotta gun/ammo money there..lol

A Wawa takes 3 years to build in NJ...It's not like anything can happen quickly in NJ when it comes to commercial development. And Wawa is pro concealed carry where allowed.

Man I thought you were offer to take me out to dinner when I read the title,,,,,lol, I am tired, and too much gun powder after a day at Easton

I love those old fashion diners, IIRC I remember seeing something on PBS a few years back on old diner restorations

I also travel by that diner and think I remember it being open when I was much younger. They tried giving it away a few years ago too, no takers then either. Don't think it's big enough for an NJGF club house.

Not around here they dont.  Once they get their approval they move FAST.  They will spare no expense to get a store open quickly.

Reminds me of the Toms diner on Route 46 in Ledgewood. Pretty sure it was in the Cyndi Lauper video.

 

Unrelated, but you HAVE to try White Manna.

Yes, The diner at the Ledgewood circle, across where the old drive-in and some go-go bar that had smiley face logo was. Was in a Cyndi Lauper video, my uncle used to own the Sunoco gas station on the corner in front of the strip mall where Ramseys (?) and the bowling alley was. Its been about 28yrs since then, I think. man it been a while wow

I used to drive by there every morning for years on the way to work ...and even the last 10 years my Princeton office was just north of there (next to the Hyatt) ...and I can barely recall seeing that old diner lol

Ogfarmer and 302w do u remember the junk/hubcap guy at the circle? I never went in there when it was there...

Wasn't the hub cap place across from Baker's Basin, around where the red roof is?

I thought he was further up by the quaker bridge mall?  That whole corridor of rt1 has changed so much since I was a kid.  I remember when most of the htings on Rt1 one werent.  That diner has been there forever though!

I remember the hupcap place, ts been a few years. I thought it was just north of the Mall overpass on the southbound side, pretty much right across from DMV

I'd like to find out what's in the garages behind the diner

I drive past it all the time

We entered the race boats in the Flemings pumpkin run, the junkyard has one of these diners restored up and running..

I was talking about the circle in Ledgewood...

Last time I was offered a "free" dinner I had to put out.

I do remember the junk guy at the Ledgewood circle. He was somewhere between the strip club and McDonalds. If you Google it you can find him.

 

I was young when they got rid of the circle. I'm going to guess 10 arbitrarily. I remember bugging my parents to always bring me there but it was always a firm no. One of my friends went there and bought a Schwinn Stingray, I was obviously jealous. Junk places are cool.

 

Also the original Sandwiches Unlimited was right there too. I remember being there once and it was old and hokey IIRC.

 

Edit: here's a link. I would format it but I'm on my phone

I think he was right next to the McDonalds, I do remember this kind of.

 

I used to live in Landing, from K-6 grade.

If it hasn't been used in 'decades' it's undoubtedly a wreck, inside and out. 

Cheaper to build a replica than move and restore that dump. Knock it down

Really?  They opened the one in Avenel in 6 months.
