We saw the listing re-posted to [url=http://www.foobooz.com]www.foobooz.com[/url], a Philadelphia food scene website, and the moderator wondered if it didn't in fact describe the [b]Melrose Diner[/b].

Please sign BFI and Confidential letter before appoitment to show. listing Broker must present.[/i] The site's moderator reported back to Roadside that the diner's current owner Michael Petrogiannis denies any desire to sell the uber famous Philly landmark, but come on... What other "restaurant" could this possibly describe? We heard it on good authority that Petrogiannis bought the Melrose with the intention to flip it, and this fits in too well with that rumor. Besides, we picked up the information from the diner grapevine, a source that's rarely if ever failed us. The diner's yours for a cool $4.5 million. By the way, the nearby [b]Broad Street Diner[/b] is also on the market for the comparatively bargain price of $1.8 million. Both are brokered by [url=http://www.drhanh.net]Dr. Hanh Vo[/url].
