Diner Spotted at Hills Seafood Newtown Square PA
Look at what I spotted when we were out running errands today- a diner being used as a seafood store:
The sun peeked out for a minute so I had to snap a photo of their vintage shaped sign too!
Funny thing is that there’s a “diner” restaurant just across the street that isn’t a diner at all. What a wacky place!

May 7, 2012 at 8:16 pmHill’s Seafood was originally the Green Hill Diner. I ate there a couple of times back in the 1970s.
If I remember correctly sometime back in the mid-80s, it became Hill’s Seafood. As for the so-called Diner across the street, that was originally a Gino’s fast food restaurant, a mid-atlantic regional fast food chain. Home of the Gino Giant hamburger!
Ate there many times growing up. In the early 1980s, it became a Roy Rogers restaurant, as the parent company bought out Gino’s. I do not remember what it was after that before it became what it is today.

That’s a great looking Mountain View diner! Even without looking it up I could see Mountain View’s unique scrollwork – referred to as “Mountain View thingies” (copyright Larry Cultrera) – along the roofline.
