Allen Co.
 



Ashland Co
 

it was called "Peg's Diner", and was run by a lady named Peggy- but don't remember her last name.
I worked on the corner of Claremont and South St at Fulmer's Gulf, and he had a full-service gas station and-U-Haul rental service. Peg's diner was tucked in behind the station.
[August 2002 picture of the diner.  The owner wanted to tear it up, but the current renters, a Harley Davidson dealership, wanted to fix it up and give it a go!]



Ashtabula Co -

There is a little diner in Conneaut near the library.

I remember the Ashtabula Dinor on Main Street - and did eat there once
or twice. I think it was Main Ave dinor for awhile - at the end it was
Mallory's Dinor. That's about all I can tell you about it.  It is long
gone.
   There was Dunk's Dinor the other side of the Nickle Plate RR tracks
on Main St.  Mallory's was on no side of tracks and Dunk's on the so
side.
    Long before that there was Joe's Dinor on Center Street and there
was one on Rte 20 East of Ashtabula, just a tad east of State Rd, and I
ate there maybe once, but can't bring the name of it to mind, maybe
Lou's Dinor..  I'll ask my sister.  Seems like brothers had that one, it
was there during my school years, 1947 grad.  We had Paul & Millies'
Dinor on Rte 20 west in Saybrook Twp.  Great place for burgers.  I
believe Millie's daughter is still alive and living in Ashtabula.
    There was another dinor on Center St years after Joe's Dinor.  Again
the name escapes me.  And I know from nothing about the company that may
have made these dinors.
     There was one on Rte 20 far east  of Ashtabula - Paul (Gilletly?)
owned or operated it - it may have been part dinor and part building.
Long gone too.
     Nearby Conneaut, OH had several dinors.  The Silver Dinor is still
downtown, again, part dinor part bldg.
[ August 2002 This still exists, but has been muddled and added on to]
There were two dinors west of
town on Rte 20, and another right in Conneaut, on So Side of Rte 20,
this one may have been part bldg part dinor, they called it Nickle Plate
dinor.

[another person]
I remember a diner on West Prospect which I think closed in the early
1970's I think it was called the Tip Top Diner. There was also one on
Center Street called the Center Diner

 There was a diner in Andover Ohio that I used to go to with my family as a child in the
late 40's. It was called Shephard's Diner and was owned by Branton and Helen Shephard.

The Morning Journal, Lisbon, Ohio, Sunday, January 11, 1997: an excerpt-
Salem's Last Diner Opened in 1955 by Dale Shaffer
On June 13, 1955 Jim and Mary Aldom held the grand opening of their new
Salem Diner, a beautiful $80,000 show-piece. It took place on their 17th
anniversary..........It also was the last one made by the Jerry O'Mahoney
Co. of Bayonne, N.J., and was shipped here on two railroad flat cars.
Salem's third and last diner owned by the Aldoms, was sold to Charles
Forsythe in 1975 and became Forsythe's Diner.  Four years later it was sold
to Shirley Davis and moved to E. Lincoln Way in Lisbon, where it still
operates as the Steel Trolley Diner...........

Crosser's Diner, Lisbon, Ohio is closed and a rumor says it will be moved to Wellsville.
John Howard "Wimpy" Crosser and wife Lorena A. Arter  abt 1944.
My husband says, Jimmy Hanna started the service station and diner.  He
moved to the west for his health.
Howard Crosser ran the gas station and his wife the diner.  I think it was
sold in 1974.

 One in Columbiana

Aldom's looked like a sleek railroad car.  It was on State Street for many
years.  If you don't know about it, you want to talk to Salem's historian,
Dale Schaeffer.  I don't have his address or phone; try for info from the
Salem News or the Farm and Dairy (a weekly).

Elite Diner in East Liverpool.

 Hancock Co.

Findlay Note : Cherry and Center are parallel to eachother, one block away from eachother.  Thusly, below is probably the same diner.

Huron Co.
 

Lake Co.

I don't know if this will help you or not, but I remember a railroad type dining car in Painesville, Ohio.
I ate in the car between the years 1936 and 1940.  It was located on State Street between Main and (I believe) Washington Streets.
I do not remember when it was removed, but I do recall that later at least starting around 1946 there was a new diner built there and called "Dietzen's (spelling) Diner.

 Some diner called The Sideliner Diner.  It is at 1470 Mentor Avenue,
Painesville, OH  44077 Phone 440-352-2423.  this might or might not be a real diner


Logan Co.
 



 

Lorain Co.
 

Mahoning Co

There was a diner on the corner of Commerce and Wick Avenue in
Youngstown.   [different person]  It was there during World War II
and continued in business probably until the 70's.  It then was dismantled
When I was there last summer, they were building a court house (I think) on
the site.

 Lisbon & North Lima, Ohio - I know there are old diners in those two towns.
(Note: Lisbon is in Columbiana Co., and that is confirmed)

Seneca Co.
 

Summit Co.

 I could see one abandoned at the top of a hill on the South side of the toll highway.  I think it had started out as a RR dining car (someone told me)  [Note: I found out this is in Hudson]

 It was located near the line between Barberton and Akron.  The street on Akron side is Kenmore Blvd, Barberton side is Wooster Road.  The streetcar line  (tells you how long ago that was!) turned around to head back into Akron there.  The diner, if I remember correctly, was open 24 hrs a day and since it was near the end of the line, catered to many of the factory workers  heading home  from swing and night shifts.
 


Trumbull Co.

There is a diner named The Emerald Diner in Hubbard. (This was recently brought in from another state)

There was at one time a diner in Warren, Ohio. It was located on East Market
Street if I remember correctly. It was probably there from the 30's maybe to
the very early 50's.
