I love looking at pictures of scooters, as much as I like looking at pictures of diners.

The combination of the two-diners and scooters got me surfing, and I found the "Diner City Scooter Club".

This was one of their runs to the Boulevard Diner, sometime in 2004.

I love it! - they have “Scoots” that end up at diners- “Diner Scoots”.


I still drool somewhat when I see an antique scooter, that has been lovingly restored, but there are lots of newer models out there that still look as good.


This is another “Diner Scoot” to the Edgemere Diner in August of 2004.

This year’s run looks like it will be at “Ralph’s Chadwick Square Diner” in July.

I came upon an article posted last year about the demise of the Moondance Diner in New York City.

Apparently, this 30's diner danced off into the sunset last July.

It was originally called the Holland Tunnel Diner when it opened in 1933.



The name was changed to Moondance in 1970, after the Van Morrison song of the same name.

This diner with its crescent-shaped sign was a beacon for hungry New Yorkers roaming north of Canal Street.

It was here that Peter Parker's girlfriend, Mary Jane waited tables in the Spiderman movie.



The interior decor and the menu were upgraded in the 90's by the owner.

The wrap-around windows, barrel-shaped roof, and chrome detailing were all preserved.

But it was sold in 2001 to a developer, who wanted to build luxury condos.


However, concerned citizens spoke up and a committee was formed to save the diner from the inevitable wrecking ball.

Some folks from Wyoming bought the diner for $7,000.00 and moved it 2,100 miles across the country to the base of the Rockies.


The diner now resides in a little town called Labarge, with a population of 500 and one other restaurant.

This T.T.C station is being altered to reflect its connection to the Royal Ontario Museum.


This picture shows the southern-most end of the Museum Station on the University Line.

Interestingly, the bars you see on the left were originally built to temporarily house any people arrested at demonstrations.

It is now used to hold parts and equipment.



The old, 60's era washroom tile design alongside the new terra cotta-like tiles.



The columns are being altered to look like mummies, totem poles and other artifacts.

In this case, they look like roman columns.



It will cost the about $350,000 to renovate the station with the TTC and private donations providing the money.




If you look closely, you can see tiny figures inside the lettering.



In Transit published an article regarding this station in November of 2005.
