The Diner Finder is the Internet’s best source of real diner information.
This just from the apparent new owner of the long-wandering Blue Belle Diner, formerly of Worcester, Mass.:
My name is Bruce Trotto and I own Dinky’s Restaurant, located on Route 70 in Shrewsbury.MA. In the past you have been known to follow the local diner news, and I am excited to say that I have some.
The Blue Belle Diner, originally from Worcester, which is now located at the Mountain Barn Restaurant in Princeton, MA, is being moved to Dinky’s Restaurant May 6,2009. The transfer of the diner to the trailer by crane, took place this morning and the actual move will take place at about midnight tonight to avoid traffic.
The Blue Belle will be moved to Shrewsbury where it will soon be attached to the existing Dinky’s Restaurant.
For additional information, I can be reached at 508−981−8007.
