Woonsocket, Rhode Island

I love diners. Given the choice of eating in a 5-star restaurant or eating in a diner, I'll take the diner anytime. Unfortunately, there are so few diners left in the state. This is one of them, on the Woonsocket and Cumberland line. Anyplace that serves breakfast all day - since I could eat bacon and eggs for three meals a day - is "fine dining" in my book!

Post processing started with a neutral filter in Topaz B&W FX. I adjusted color sensitivity sliders, adaptive exposure, regions, details, contrast, boost black, boost white, and protect highlights. A levels adjustment was added in PSE.

From what I have heard, you can download a US map of all the places ever featured on the Food Network's "Restaurants, Diners and Dives." Road trip, Ron!

Looks like a quaint and charming little place! We don't see many diners over this neck of the woods!

@kannafoot Wow, thanks so much for going that extra step there Ron! As I was reading through I noticed that there is indeed one about an hours drive away! Might have to check it out! :)
