Depot Diner & Coffee Shop

....Sounds great Jen....Like a mystery. Will be intertesting if you might be able to locate the building in question in your fair and I might say {from the pictures}, nice looking city.

So inquiring minds want to know...are you really a 13 year old girl who forgot to put her diary in the fridge?

Do us all a favor and go back to starting threads attempting to sing the praises of your poorly focused, badly composed, mis-exposed and generally uninteresting pictures. We all pretty much avoid those since none of us has any interest in them. It might behoove you to learn how to similarly avoid threads that don't interest you.

And I agree with Mookie, you owe CW an apology post haste.[:(!]

Jen....Did you go looking for the restored building yet....? Or might that be a project for the weekend.....

Q - I am going to make a point to go this weekend. I have an idea where it might be, but until I go look, I won't know. I checked the HGTV website and didn't find anything. Also went out on property website for county but didn't find the a picture of the building I have in mind. They don't always post a picture and this may be one of them. So the hunt is still on!

I will let you know as soon as I can come up with something! I love a good mystery!

[Mookie]

You know SP, this is low even for you. You are picking on a truly gentle person in our group. She doesn't fight and argue like I might and she goes out of her way to make people feel welcome and a part of the group.

You are mean-spirited and have made it an agenda to ruin a good forum of people that have a good time. There is a diner on the model forum. They talk about food. Do you go over there and wreck things for them, too?

If you don't like what we do in here, go start your own forum for small minded people!

You owe CW an apology!

Good Thursday morning, everyone! Well, we're supposed to get back up to 60
degrees today, then have SNOW showers tomorrow! Crazy, mixed up weather.

Breakfast today will be: oatmeal (maple/brown sugar flavored) with toast. The
toast will be your choice of regular toast, or French toast. Also on the menu will
be: turkey bacon, sausage (patties & links), biscuits & gravy, scrambled eggs,
and hash browns.

Darn, the lights are still off. I do see a ball of fur over in the corner, so I'll keep the clanging and banging to a minimum. I see everything is here for breakfast, so send up your orders! Coffee will be ready shortly. I don't drink the stuff, so you're on your own for how it turns out.

Sacto: years gone by, the railroads used to pay a diner to stay open 24/7 to feed the crews. That was before 24 hour BK. They probably don't have that kind of pressure anymore in the bigger towns. They may still do it in smaller towns.

I actually ate at the one that served UP crews in Portola, CA when I was visiting the railroad museum at Portola some years ago and the food was actually pretty good! [8D] I remember the name of the place was (I think!) "Good 'n Plenty," though I'm sure the place name has changed by now.

Really? I didn't know that. Isn't that a shame I was born and rasied in the state of PA which is were I am still, and I didn't know about this. Do you know the name of it? Next time I'm out in Central PA I will be sure to look that one up.

It looks like things got heated here in the diner, some hours ago. Two words here..... Oh MY.................

Well, guess what I'm getting ready to do? I'm getting ready to walk four of my friend's dogs, two German Sheps, I Terrier, and one Boxer. He's away for the week, and asked me to look after his animals. To top it all off it is raining tonight, so this ought to be interesting. Darn and I can't go floodspotting tonight. [:D]

[CShaveRR]

Congratulations, you two!

Actually, we were talking to Chris about picking up chicks!

And good one, Chris! I missed that spelling gaffe myself.

Sarah, I will be in touch--sorry about your cold.

This is my one strike at the computer for today--I have to be at work for a class at 0630 tomorrow and Friday (no night shift for me this week, thankfully!), and I'm ready for bed almost any time now.

Could I please get a caffeine-free Diet Dew? Large? For those who need to know, the sugar and caffeine are not good for me. And my employer, a RAILROAD, is one of the leaders in encouraging healthy habits.

Seems he caught me at a rather busy time and i spaced giving him a biz card.[8D][8D][8D]

Indeed I did get to meet our fine feathered friend. Even managed to grab a picture even though I'm not much of a bird photographer:



OK...actually that's a ptarmigan up in RMNP...but it's close. [;)]

MC, take my forum ID and throw an @ and a yahoo and a dot and a com behind it and you've got my addy (my forum profile also has my addy...might be a little simpler).

And for those of you who wonder what a mudchicken does, seems an 8th grader in Massachusetts tried to explain it in an essay:

A Sirvayur is something that grubs around in the woods looking for little sticks and stones. When he finds them, he does some kind of weird dance around them with a funny looking 3-leg crutch which he leans on and looks at.

When he don’t find them, he walks around all day like he is lost. Sometimes you see them squashed by cars along roads, espeshelly in the summer when all the other bugs are out. A Sirvayur has one big eye and one little eye like popeye. He usually walks bent over all the time which is why he looks so stooped. His face looks like old leather. He cusses TERRIBUL. He can’t read because he measures between things and then puts down a number in a little book that is difrint than what his little map says.

He always measures to a stick or stone, stops near it, and puts in another stick or stone. He is not to brite because he is always making marks on sidewalks and rods to find his way home. His pants are allways tore from rock salt and his shoes looks like they was made of mud, people stare at him, dogs chase him and he always looks woreout. I don’t know why anyone wants to be a SIRVAYUR.
THE END…….

(do they teach spelling back there? or does it hurt their self esteem?)

(Advanced "sirvayur", graduated from sticks & stones to metal pins & nails![:D])

Mike (just another day older)[:o)]

[bday] Mike!! Yes, I do have pies baked, and keep them in the freezer.

For your birthday, I have just finsihed making a chocolate cream pie.

BUT: before you have a slice (with said birthday candle in it),
you have to have supper. On the supper menu tonight are the
following:

1. grilled cheese sandwich & home fries
2. baked mac & cheese w/ham

Plus, there is still some beef stew & cornbread left from lunch,
if you'd rather have that.

Hi All

I am kinda sad right now. [:(] I just read an article about a one eyed kitty. It only lived about 24 hours. This is a true story tho. The article had a photo. I have saved a copy of it if anyone wants to see it. If you do, just email me and I will email it to you. Poor thing, it is so sad. [V]


Well, I am off to get some housework in before dark. [8]

[blhanel]

[bday], Mike! Quick, give me a piece of that pie before Mookie gets back!

Chris, that sig pic makes me shiver.

And to think that all those teenage girls out there are keeping their diaries under their pillows or in their bedstands where prying eyes can't find them. Maybe that's why so many 13 year olds have such "sour" attitudes...they forgot to put their diaries in the fridge! [:D]

A good place to insert a Garfield thought:

Jon - "I have a lot on my mind!"

Garfield - "Good! Maybe that will keep it from blowing away!"

And YOUR point would be ? No one here left anything like that out anyway.
And besides everybody (almost) knows that's COMMON SENSE !!

Several of the other forums have a "coffee shop" where people "chat" just like they would over a cup of coffee. Now this isn't my idea, I am borrowing it from the "other" forums and starting it here. Several other people have said we need it here in this forum so I will go ahead and start it.

There is no set topic. However, trains, food, and everything under the sun seem to be talked about. Just post whatever is on your mind. So grab a stool, have a cup of coffee, and just chat away.

Just in case anyone has forgotten why we opened the Diner in the first place... This was post #1.

QUOTE: Originally posted by SactoGuy188Speaking of which, I wonder does a small town dominated by a railroad have a diner that is open 24 hours a day specifically to cater to railroad employees?

The mark of an Air Force transit base (one at which people stop a lot enroute or which has substantial round-the-clock activities) is the flight line grille - usually open 24 hours and good, simple fair. Had many a "western" omelet (some call them "garbage omelets") at 3 AM while I was in...
