The old diner


When you travel, you find the oddest things. Coming home earlier this month, we pulled off the highway in London, KY, for the night. Right beside the Comfort Suites that we had chosen, I spied a gorgeous, classic diner. It was right beside the hotel and, at first, I thought it was open, but a closer look made me realize that it was definitely closed. I took many photos and then asked the hotel's desk clerk about it. He told me it had been there a long time and had housed many restaurants, the most recent an asian buffet that closed several months ago due to a kitchen fire. The clock at the front of the diner obviously stopped working long ago; I think it's a great entry for this week's Photo Theme for Thursday challenge: time.

Fantastic photo! There's a Chinese saying that a good artist has "heart and hand" in accord, and I think this definitely applies to you ...but in your case, we obviously have to add "eye" too.

To the staff at Diner News....yes, I have other photos of this place. Stay tuned for more; they'll likely appear on my Flickr account.
