Plainfield, Indiana Diner Closing

He's owned it for 22 years, but Ray Piercy, 69, says its time to close it down because of health issues and competition from chain restaurants.

 

He wants to sell it for $1.75 million and it consists not only of the diner, but also an old motel, and 1.75 acres on US-40. That is a whole lot too much if you ask me. Hey, even the Blue Swallow in Tucumcari went for under $200,000.

 

The diner is known for its tenderloin sandwich. The diner itself consists of two parts. The front is a 35 foot aluminum structure made in 1954. It fronts an attached regular building which holds the kitchen and more dining.

 

In 2004, it received a plaque from the National Road Association.

 

Anyone have pictures?
