I used to eat breakfast at a place called Phyllis's Diner in Everett, MA way back in the day. Now it's a tattoo shop.

I find those style of diners are fading, but there are a few of the more "historical" ones floating around. When I was a kid in the 90s, there were a lot more of them. But I guess my parents probably thought that there were less railcar style diners in the 90s as their were in the 70s.

Probably the diner that comes to mind most is Red Arrow Diner in Manchester, NH. They seem to have branded well to weather the storm of diner's closing.
