Hometown Diners
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Harry N. Abrams
- Publish date: 04/01/1999
Description:
Diner people, diner food, diner architecture, and diner signs -- these are the elements that make up Robert Williams' fond look at the roadside cateries of the northeastern United States. Williams' color photographs open up the world of diners and introduce the waitresses, owners, short-order cooks, and patrons who make every diner, in its own way, a hometown landmark.
Expand description
For the past five years, Williams has photographed modest lunch wagons like the Super Duper Weenie Truck in Fairfield, Connecticut, and stainless-steel Art Deco legends like the Bendix in Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey. He's also captured the Birmingham Grille on Pennsylvania's Route 202 being jacked up for transport to California, and the Hollywood Diner in Baltimore, Maryland -- the main location for Barry Levinson's coming-of-age movie, Diner.
Williams' intimate pictures and lively personal anecdotes will make every reader nostalgic for his or her own hometown diner -- or for a roadside stop that lingered in the memory.
