I miss the old American cafe on 41st and Chestnut in West Philly, that was my hang for a few years, but there are a few diners left in South Philly like the Melrose. You can see hair-shirt mobsters mingle with the norms.<BR/><BR/>The lanerch is really a relic, it's got tape on some seats, leaky ceiling in spots, a real character place too. Some of the people are so weird to watch...fun too. Yeah Rich, we'll have to scope the diners out your way, I think they will have a bit of a resurgence as people get tired of the fast-food-nation junk food most people get.Mike Manleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00345070847409367151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11225940.post-1129075662199572172005-10-11T20:07:00.000-04:002005-10-11T20:07:00.000-04:00Rain is a rarity here in LA.
