No, this isn't the same Mel's Diner made famous by TV's Alice,
but it did catch my photographic eye and it is a nice neon sign
that would make a great postcard.
It's a cute little diner located on the scenic route in Boulder City
on the way to Las Vegas' famous Lake Mead
and the incredibly amazing wonderous awe of Hoover Dam.
JarieLyn,
ReplyDeleteSurely you and I are much too young to remember Mels Diner and the TV show Alice, aren't we? Remember "Kiss my grits!"
Great photo, love the clouds in the background. You do have a photographic eye!
cute sign. I love the arrow. when I saw your title on my page I immediately thought of the TV show!
ReplyDeleteI think it's fun to try small local eateries, esp the dives. That's where some of the very best food can be found! Love your photo, great shot!
ReplyDeleteLovely photo, JarieLyn. The colour of the sign is reflected in the sky!
ReplyDeleteWow, the mel's diner post photo outside is resemblance with the color in the background. I love it. Wish I can taste the food inside
ReplyDeleteGreat photo, true Americana.
ReplyDeleteGlad you stopped by in Normandy.
Maggie
Great shot JL!
ReplyDeleteI remember that show!

We had a chain of Mel's Diners here in Florida for a number of years. They closed the one in New Port Richey a couple of years ago. The sign is still there though and it looks like this one.
ReplyDeleteIt had very good food and the breakfasts were great.
mel's dinner...now that brought back some TV memories...
ReplyDeletewe've come along way haven't we....maybe in a bad way, based on how good the "real shows" were back then....
I loved the tv show Mel's Diner-you are very artistic!
ReplyDeletevery cute picture and I love the sunset in the background!
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty cool photo. I watched "Alice" when I was a kid and your picture did make me automatically think of it. BTW, thanks for that suggestion for a photo book. The photos on that site http://www.nowordz.com/ are wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteThat certainly is a great photo.. perfect with that lovely sky.
ReplyDeleteOne thing about Nevada, it seems the lights never burn out. When you see signs here, half the time there are burnt out light bulbs. Really cute shot.
ReplyDeleteIt has such a classic hometown feel to it....like I want to pop in for breakfast.
ReplyDeleteThat is a gorgeous sign!! True American Art!
ReplyDeleteI love eating in diners,myself. :-)
