Atlantic Diner


Atlantic Diner, originally uploaded by Chris S Thorpe.
Breakfast at the diner, anyone? My recent road trip to south Jersey was a journey back in time for me. Sitting on the corner of Atlantic and Garfield in the heart of Wildwood is a diner that was my uncle's main source of income for thirty five years. Opened in the early sixties as the "Atlantic Diner" it was the site of summer employment for my siblings and my cousins, most tips went toward college tuition payments. I had not seen the place in over eighteen years and it was a required stop on my trek through nostalgia. Ironically the current owners now bills the place as a diner from the 1950's.
