Remember the Sage!


The Queens Gazette has an announcement about the opening of the Nevada Diner in Elmhurst, which has replaced the Pop Diner/Pop City Grill (which replaced the Sage Diner - site of an infamous 1986 shootout). There apparently is another Nevada Diner in Bloomfield, NJ, with the same theme and decor, so it probably is owned by the same entity. Early reviews aren't good, but then again, the Pop was pretty awful as well.

That neighborhood is turning all Asian

Notice the apartment building behind the diner? People are too lazy to maintain the masonry cornices and trim. So the lazy and cheap way out is this too ubiquitous metal cladding. The old days used to have quality construction and maintenance.
