Mel's Diner

 Mel's Diner is a handsome classical diner along US Route 41 in Bonita Springs.

I like it best at night after everyone has gone home.


This view is from the right side, near the rear.


And this is from halfway down the right side.


A couple of weeks ago a vehicle plowed through the building on the front left side, pushing in two windows, a wall, and shifting booths and tables.  It looks like there has been enough repair for the building to be used again, though the cosmetic work remains undone.

  3. I am sorry to hear this classic 1950s style diner was damaged. Glad they have done repairs. I would be attracted to this place.

  4. A place Hopper's nighthawks could feel at home...

  5. Great night shots! Neon is so photogenic. I don't know how a person could manage to hit a building with their car, that takes real talent.
