Moosic Diner [gone?]
Moosic, PA
The Moosic Diner was housed in a 1955 Mountain View when these photos were taken in 2010. The diner was previously named Charge's Diner. The Moosic closed in 2013 and the diner became Big Earl's. In 2019, the diner was removed from its foundation and put up on blocks at the back of the property in preparation for the Cucina Rinaldi which was built at the site. The diner was put up for sale. I don't know if it was sold, destroyed, or if it is still there. Cucina Rinaldi closed in 2023. [map]

Miss Oxford Diner
Oxford, PA
The Miss Oxford Diner is a Silk City (#5465), built in 1954. It replaced a 1940s Mountain View at the same location. It closed in 1986, but was restored and reopened in 1994. [map]

Vale-Rio Diner [gone]
Phoenixville, PA
The Vale-Rio Diner is a Paramount diner from 1948. It has unusual disc patterns on its stainless-steel exterior. The 11th Street Diner in Miami Beach, FL has the same pattern. This diner's name was based on the owners' last name, Valerio. After these photos were taken in 2007, the diner's roof and parking lot were painted shocking pink. The diner closed in 2008 and was stored on the owner's property after that (bottom photo). In 2017, the diner was sold and moved to private property. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2.
