Mel's Diner in Phoenix, Arizona was the setting in the TV show, Alice, that aired on CBS from August 31, 1976 to March 19, 1985. The series is based on the 1974 film Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore. The diner exterior footage was all shot at the actual Mel's Diner on Grand Avenue in Phoenix, while the interior was all shot on sets in Burbank. This version of the Mel's Diner design includes a realistic vintage treatment to give it true retro look like you picked it up back in 1976.

Post-war America and new super highways brought about a new-found interest in traveling, so roadside diners started popping up in key locations from coast to coast. One such place in Elkton, Maryland on the freshly completed US 40 was the Elkton Diner, a modern deco style eatery which also played host as a Trailways bus stop. Positioned almost dead center between New York and Baltimore, Elkton Diner was a popular stop for highway travelers for years before being consumed in a fire in 1962.

Doggie Diner was a local fast food chain serving hot dogs and hamburgers in San Francisco that operated from 1948 to 1986. At one time there were 30 locations around the San Francisco Bay Area, mostly concentrated in San Francisco and were quite iconic with their giant fiberglass doggie heads on their signs. This version of the Doggie Diner design includes an embellished version of their original logo. If you'd like a more vintage appearance, check out my Doggie Diner Vintage design which includes a realistic distressing to make it look like an old school original.

A retro pattern inspired by diners and cafes in the fifties and sixties. A pink, checkered background, like a cafe floor. The pattern has retro cafe items like tea cups, teapots, coffee pots and art deco furniture. A fun, vintage pattern.

Tee for the late lamented Ruby's Surf City Diner, at the end of the Huntington Beach Pier. Defunct, and permanently closed in early 2021, after 30 years of fries and shakes. Great gift for Huntington Beach folks, fans of retro 50s diners. Weathered distressed effect.
