Postcard of Lindholm's Diner, Rutland, Vermont, circa 1950
Add to SetSummary
After World War II, Americans were eating out more than ever before. Diners became familiar sights--especially in New England (where the industry originated), New York, and New Jersey (where the industry was moving). Their new, modern streamlined forms, like the diner shown here, represented efficiency and progress--perfect embodiments of a nation on the go.
