The Abandoned 1950's Pink Diner that was left behind Mysteriously

- Once the jazz music faded away and the ovens turned off, this diner has sat in silence for decades. This Pink Diner didn't have much history online, but resides in small American town. With tables having plates left behind on tables, the menu still up and everything left, it feels this location is out of the apocalypse. We believe closure occurred after a fire in the kitchen. Leaving the ceiling damaged from fire and water damage. That ceiling damage led to the rapid decay of this small town diner. Leaving what is here today as a sitting time capsule. If you enjoy the video, leave a thumbs up, and subscribe for my explorations.

You guys have been digging the 1950 vibes as of late. So I decided to edit this explore from a year or so ago. Hopefully you enjoy this old school diner that looks like it's right out the apocalypse.
Whats your favorite food to order at a diner ?
I loveee meatloaf! And donuts dipped into coffee 🤤
Always wanted to try a burger or similar in these kind of places ... sadly we dont have that kinda here.
eggs sausage and bacon with sweet tea
Turkey club!
i have an abandoned place near me
This may sound odd, but one of my favorite things about your videos, is when you film and it's silent, you can hear static wind or cars passing by from outside. Idk why, but I love that.
So do I it allows the imagery to speak for itself
Serenity
Exactly what I was thinking. It's about the exploration itself and the atmosphere not the staged drama.
It is about life's fading in time. Time proving it's point by being irrelevant. What has to happen will happen no matter what. It is just wonderful.
Me to I won't watch a video that has music in the background unless the videos really, really good.I hate the music going.. And I love music.but there's a time and place for it.and during a video is totally the WRONG PLACE.
You get a sense of this place when it’s left alone. The atmosphere is calm as you watch this once lively place rot and it’s memory’s fade.
Dear Lad this is to said for me. I am 99 yrs and many of us ate at these places because we were working and needed a delicious meal at a great price. You will not see these beautiful buildings ever again. It's Americana. Thank you Lad for showing. 👵 it just breaks my heart to see it in such a bad shape. 👵
Hi there. I hope you are doing well. I lost my mom and great grand mom to cancer and my grand mom in an accident she was 99. I wish you well and many more healthy years ahead, ^u^ Have a good one. No need to respond if you don't feel like it.
What's the name of this place?
We need timemachine to go back to the glory days of these kind of places,
Exactly! Where people were not so offended over everything and everyone looked out for each other ❤️
For what it's worth, the diner may be from the 1940's, actually.
Check out Rosie's Diner in Rockford, MI (originally located in New Jersey before being shipped to Michigan), it was opened in the 40's and has the exact same backsplash along the kitchen. Closed in 2011 so in far better shape than this one. Looking at photos of other legit 1940's diners, many of them have the same backsplash design as well... though it's possible that the panels were a standard remodel across numerous diners sometime in the 50's, I'm willing to bet that this diner here was built in the 40's.
This is the one!! So cool.
nahh that pink was the 50s theme.
Been to Rossi's many times, i use to live 3 miles from it...really cool place.
That is what I was thinking, it looks just like it. That back drop silver is the exact and the menu boards
I don't know what gave them the feeling this diner was from the 90's
I'm thinking from the malt blender
Definitely the 50's maybe as early as the 40's
Yeah if they just closed down, they wouldve packed up. People were actually eating when they had to leave. It was something sudden for sure
I have been following your channel for the past year or so and love all your videos. Me and my girlfriend were watching this episode the other night and we’re both amazed to see a place that is only 5 minutes from us and we pass it on a regular basis!! Keep killing it man
I’m guessing this one closed in the first half of the 2000s, 2000-2005 probably. Judging by the water damage and decay, it’s definitely been closed a long time, but curly light bulbs didn’t come out until 1995.
October 2, 2021 5:11 am
The price of some of those items on the menu seems more recent… Probably closer to 2005-2010
Can confirm, it closed right around 2005.
I'd say around mid 2000s due to the eco energy saving bulbs
@@jd3506 How can you confirm this? Do you know what place it is?
I grew up eating at diners like that. I loved them.
Ok boomer.
@@hallking7441 Lol!! I consider that a compliment.
@@haveahappyday1749 lol I’m with you Marie!! And I still eat at diners all the time and love them!! They’re very special to me comforting & happy
@@Ilovevintage77 Exactly!!! There is something...comforting about them.
@@haveahappyday1749 How old are you?
Great video! This diner opened in 1956 and closed around 2005. It’s also definitely not near Buffalo...
How do you know? Just curious.
I can confirm it closed right around 2005. My mom worked at this diner part time, they had the best silver dollar pancakes.
@@jd3506 what happened to it?
It was ran poorly towards the end. It got dirty and bugs filled the place. They were also short staffed alot of the time, making one person often work from around four am when the food got there until closing and cleaning that night.
@@jd3506 damn thats a very long shift. I see why no one would wanna come work there anymore
Surely being a diner there would be old packaged food products or cans in the cupboards somewhere? Those would have an expiry date, which would indicate the rough time it was abandoned.
My name's NOT SHERLY!!!! (surely)
I’ll have today’s special
I'll meet you guys there.😂
Coke or Pepsi?
@@AmongTheUnknown coke
Beautiful find, what a fab place, wow I think you are right about how it was abandoned, a fire started and they all went to their safety points outside and that was it, no one worked or ate there again, such a shame, lovely place in it's day. Thank you for sharing (UK)
Great video. You take time and thoroughly go thru the explore. The pics of the vases, checkbook, decorations, etc. really make the video hit home.
The certificate from the local health department on the wall behind the counter likely had the date issued and/or the date it would expire. This could be used to roughly date the time of abandonment.
It’s interesting to see the unfinished bowl of chili that was likely left by a customer fleeing the fire that caused this place to become abandoned.
As to the question of what type of diner food is my favorite, diner breakfast food is the best. I also like diner hamburgers, chili, milkshakes, and ice cream.
That swirly lightbulb is a clue to how modern it was before burning down. It might have been a 50's style diner but not originally from the 1950s.
Theres one in my town. Same exact floorplan and materials. Put together like a kit
I was going to say the same. It was open in at least the early 2000’s
It did not burn down. From my experience I do not see fire damage there's no soot or blackness on anything. Trust me on this. Things aren't so just because someone says.
I just talked to a friend who deals with movie props and he said its very common for them to leave something like this behind. Not saying this was just a prop, but a lot of things like this are slapped together then left behind. Unless you find a name and info on it there is a chance its just a prop. Even the large RV for Jurassic park were left to rot until somebody found and restored it.
Oh that's an interesting idea. That would explain a lot. Hollywood is so wasteful, wouldnt surprise me
Looks like the diner that was in back to the Future that Marty and McFly met each other for the 1st time in
This was a real diner. I went to it as a kid.
I enjoy your B-roll and I love that you don’t use foreboding music, just the ambient sounds. Very cool channel!
Love the stunning silver sunburst splash backs
It looks like there was a business licence on the wall.
Shoulda had a date on it.
Jeez, the whole look of this abandoned diner made a shiver go up my spine. I've never had this feeling of an apocalypse while watching any other videos. Feels weird. It looks like everyone got up and left. Very strange.
I know it. It's creepy.
@@matthewbennett9928
It really is. Even though some time has passed since watching this show, it is still bothersome. We had a place exactly like this one just a few miles from our house. We went there often for lunch, and it was usually busy. Then one day out of the blue, we walked up to the front door and it was locked. No sign about being closed. Look completely normal and clean inside. It is still on the corner, untouched, and never reopened. That was about eight to eleven years ago. It's so sad anytime we drive past the place. Just like the diner in this show.
The pegboard lettering on the menus dates to the 1980s if this helps.
I was shocked to see that teddy bear framed print at 2:00. I have that picture and a matching one, they were given to me when I was a baby in the late '80s. I've been trying to figure out who the artist was, it's signed "B. Sienkiewicz." My guess is that it's Bill Sienkiewicz, a comic book artist who's worked for Marvel and DC, but I haven't been able to confirm it or learn anything about the picture. So weird seeing it an an abandoned place video.
that’s so wholesome
Looks like the Diner in the Old Blob Movie with Steve McQueen.
Or Superman 2 where Clark gets beat up.
This was such an awesome exploration that you did! You are the best in urban exploration!
Love these old dinner cars brings back fond memories.
I love this old diner explore. It's a shame that it can't be fixed up. Take care 😍💕🙂❤💗
It looks like everyone up and left cuz they did! The owners kinda left management to run it, they then left their employees to run it. People stopped getting paid. All went on strike, walked out one day and never looked back. It’s unfortunate, cuz its such a cool place. An era forgotten.
So Sad!😢 There are so few diners left anymore. One of my favorite places to eat! The food was always so good!
It’s a shame. Those rail car diners are pretty rare.
There use to be several in Seattle on first ave.
I noticed the light bulbs are them curly type. Not sure when they sold. Probably 90's
It's confirmed that it closed in 2005.
The paper menu gives a window on when it closed up. It has a “low calorie corner” spot on the menu and a side order of fries is $2.99. My guess is late 90’s, early 2000’s
To bad no one reopened the diner
04:34 That mixer would be awesome to restore.
2:58 that broken "EPSTEIN DIDN'T KILL HIMSELF" at the leftmost window took my attention the most haha!
I have never eaten in a diner but would love to. I kinda miss the "bug on your neck"!
Wow - just found your channel today. I love the vibes you guys have and the haunting music is beautiful. Lingering the visuals for us on the items and architectures is wonderful.
We'll be back. Stay safe.
Yes 99 cent breakfast special Big in the 90s early 90s. I am old I remember. 😝
Thankyou so much ,very interesting 😊xx
Holy shit, was that a Sunbeam Automatic Toaster? Why the hell didn't you grab that? They're very hard to come by and very valuable.
And those other appliances like the milkshake maker and stuff. Made in the good old USA!
Probably because the place was crawling with mold and decay.
I like those flowers and vase!
Do not believe it was fire damage, the grill area doesn't look burned...its to clean for any kind of fire damage!
Exactly! It doesn't take a rocket science just to figure it out.
You got to be really careful going into anything that is built in 1950s. Cause the building may still have traces of asbestos...
are people gonna be saying that about coronavirus in 70 years
@@alyssa975 lol
It’s not from the 1950s. That diner is in Buffalo NY and is a modern version of a 1950s diner.
Lmao, You’re not going to have any issues with asbestos unless you start demoing the structure.
omg seriously. only if you touch it or loose particles in the air. so what we start taring down buildings now lmaoo. the house i lived in before this was built 1946, and hey im fine lol
Fire! You are right. The glass of water is recent though.
If there had been a fire there would be signs. Wall chard etc. Might have been closed by the health department, or owner passed away suddenly.
Exactly.
Ur videos are always amazing. U guys find the best places. I love how u appreciate the craftsmanship of things and the older vibe stuff.I'm totally with you on that. Keep up the great work!!
Fantastic filming of this gem!! Always a great video coming from you!!!
That's a cool Dinner, in England we never had much like that 50s 60s, that's cool history, thanks for documenting it, keep the coming
Really Not in England ? You guys have buildings dating back to the 1500s right?
Yes we do, but not Dinners like that we had Cafes, American Dinners are so much better, ours were similar in some ways, but they were as many as you have in the states, in fact I believe you still have such Dinners, there amazing.
@@videomentaryproductionschannel Diners are becoming fewer and fewer in the United States expressit States especially with the pandemic and fast food just taking over everything. I live in Indianapolis Indiana and we have a local place called Steer In and yeah it's absolutely wonderful and you just get that old school vibe it's been there since 1962.
Great abandoned explore I really enjoyed this cafe beautiful 1950s vibe. 👍😀
Brilliant.best wishes london
Definitely looks like fire damage. If that’s the case, I’d venture the insurance adjusters came in and wrote the place off as a complete loss. The owners would’ve been compensated for the value of everything in it, so there’d be no reason to come back and try to salvage anything.
I would fix that up!
Thats really a shame too that no one opens up this diner again too kh
I REALLY ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS....WISH I WAS WITH YOU TO SERCH THEESE PLACES
Wow very interesting
heartbreaking....thank you,
So glad you filmed this forgotten history a good one.👍👍👍👍👍👍
You did show us the back of the restaurant
what a cool diner it must've been in it's hayday...ove the pink details
That country stuff was big in the 90s.
Biscuits and sausage gravy please
Thanks for sharing this location😊
Cool little place, thanks for sharing.
wow that is amazing!!
It looked like the name of the place was printed at the top of the menu you moved in the beginning of the video!
Why not ask the locals?
You guys have the best exploration videos..Keep out the good work!
I love old diners
When you filim in the old diners
It feels like you are sitting and having food.
Saw compact fluorescent lights. So those had a big push in the early to mid 2000’s. Then fizzled out with the LEDs in around 2015 or so?
Really interesting but I would have liked to see somemore of the exterior. I think if there was a fire you would smell it.
Exactly there is no fire damage or soot even if there's just a little fire there's always blackness and the ceiling would have been completely blackened.
I found this video so relaxing. Thanks for uploading 😊😊😊
This reminds me of the old tv series Alice.
What does the outside of the diner look like ????????? We needed more outside pictures without the camera person moving so fast ?????
I like the ray patterns on the metal walls
A few movie scenes may have been filmed in this replica retro diner.
I so miss places like this, it's so sad that as time goes by they become less n less, Liked the explore
It's sad to see a restaurant go out of business, back around some 20 years ago people were nostalgic for 1950s style things, hence the dinner, but now they all want things from the 80s and 90s...
Love the intro man great video
abandoned in the late 80's or early 90's, for me!
Geez your videos are awesome,greatings from Mossel bay South Africa
Hey bro just watched the of this old pink diner it’s very cool I like diners very cool video
I enjoyed this video thanks for sharing
Nice bro
Is there still people living in the town.
Nice little exploration thanks for sharing 👍
Love this video buddy and hope you are having a good day ❤
I see evidence of fire here and there, but the interior looks (relatively) intact. I'm guessing this was a roof fire that then rained charred bits down all over everything? Great find, sad to see it, though.
Evidence? There's no soot on anything. Even if it was just a small fire the ceiling would be completely black. From my own experience.
Gotta bring back the trip hop intros. The piano is a little too emo for me.
I’m curious if anyone knows the purpose of the 123 light above the door?
There couldn’t have been very many servers in such a small place. So I’m assuming they each got a number for the day. When their food was up the cooks lit up the number to let them know.
Great video love it
Feels like eviction? Foreclosure?? Bankruptcy???
That was once a really awesome place
05:44 leave alone all these letters.
Cool là vidéo merci mec.👍👍❤
Enjoyed it!! 🥰🥰🥰
This is creepy as hell. Yeah. I definitely can see why you wanted to document it. :) Creepy and just...IDK...sad. Great find and great work!!!
I wonder how long it has been abandoned? It is hard to tell for sure. I get the heebie jeebies from this diner more than almost anything I have watched on here (YT). Damn. I can still hear the dishes clanking and the grill sizzling...
I like liver and onions (I Know I KNOW! I can hear y'all groaning at that!) and milkshakes. :)
Awesome video
thanks
I thought it was from the actual 1950's!
know a place just like that but open.... the country girl diner chester vermont,, great food music on weekends
Judging on that light bulb it was probably abandoned early 2000s.
Someone mentioned that it opened a 1956 and closed in 2005 but they didn't give any more details.
