In a recent post, I talked about Valentine Diners, https://upsdownsfamilyhistory.wordpress.com/2019/03/02/wichita-restaurant-that-wont-stay-dead.
Here’s more information on Valentine Diners: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentine_Diner. I didn’t realize it was a Valentine Diner. I knew there was a Valentine Diner in the mid-town area, but it closed years ago. Looks like there are fair number of the diners in the area; some open, some closed: https://www.kshs.org/kansapedia/valentine-diners-kansas/18729
in addition to the KSHS link above for Kansas, they have a link to Valentine Diners in other states – https://www.kshs.org/kansapedia/valentine-diners-other-states/18730, including one in my hometown: https://www.kshs.org/kansapedia/valentine-diners-mississippi-gulfport/18800. Here’s the Google Maps Street View of the location: https://www.google.com/maps/@30.3698327,-89.0931266,3a,60y,327.92h,86.57t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sRXRmPydOJp_-cYKwNXKVvQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656.
I plan on seeing which ones in Wichita are still around. Several I have seen without knowing they were Valentine Diners.
