Daily Diner

Unread post by jupider » Tue Apr 17, 2012 2:52 pm

So, while driving around working a while ago, I spotted this little hole-in-the-wall diner right off the freeway and it just seemed to catch my attention for no apparent reason. In response to its calling, I stopped by there earlier today and snapped this picture of it. I also ate lunch there. Best chicken sandwich. EVER!

Anyway, the reason I'm posting this in the Suggestions forum instead of Misc. or something is because I think the image could be used for a diner in Paradox. Maybe a diner you can go into and order food and drinks that get consumed immediately, rather than purchasing for your inventory. I know ToG already has exactly that, but there's just something about how this particular diner looks that makes it so appealing.

Also, if you're ever in the Markle, IN area, I strongly suggest you stop there for lunch!

Actually, if you Google Street View it, the image has the restaurant name as "Huddle House."

Any chance you could level it out? My phone was a little crooked when I took it.

Now it looks like it's leaning too far the other way... :(
