Melrose Diner: Renovations to begin soon
- Category: Eat in Diners
- Published on Wednesday, 25 August 2010 16:41
I have it on very good authority that renovations will soon begin on the Melrose Diner in Philadelphia. While I have largely “forgiven” Michael Petrogiannis for some of his renovation transgressions on the other diners he owns in the city, I can’t help but look at the exterior of the Melrose and ask, “What could possibly need any improvement?”
I still think that most of the exterior renovations done to the Mayfair were not needed, but they can easily be reversed. We’ll see what happens to the other Philly diner landmark over the next few weeks.
If you don’t have photographs of the diner in its current state, you better hurry. Tell them Roadside sent you!
