Spotted on the Roadside: A slice of cherry pie and a damn fine cup of coffee

This is the Double R diner from Twin Peaks, but thanks to a fire that gutted it in 2000, you wouldn’t recognize it. If I owned the place, I’d have capitalized on its connection to the show and restored it instead of the ubiquitous diner faux 50s crap, but I guess pleatherette is cheap and wood isn’t. Maybe I’m expecting too much from a place that was featured on a TV show over twenty years ago. It just seems like they could do more than Twin Peaks mugs and a $2.00 crayon map.

Spotted in North Bend, WA.
