Description
Mom's Diner at Exit 8 - Richard Reeve
From what I can piece together this classic diner produced by the Fodero Dining Car company fed the locals in Woodbridge, New Jersey from the late 40s/early 50s until it closed around 2010. Known as Mom's Diner the pictures I have seen look wonderful with all the polished chrome and red seating. Today it's in a sorry state, only fit for demolition. It nearly sold in 2011 but in the end the elements took it. Another piece of Americana bites the dust...

Hello, Richard. This photo is Mom's Peppermill Diner, located in Hightstown, NJ, right off Exit 8 of the NJ Turnpike. I recognized it (with a happy jolt!) immediately. It has been closed for quite some time, but back in the day, it was a tiny, but hopping diner. Here it is, slightly more intact: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/new-jersey/diner-nj-usa/ Thanks for the moment of nostalgia!!!
