Wildfire Throwback: Vancouver's Stardust Diner

3866

Stumbled on a few from last year that I re-fell in love with so they deserved to be shared.

What you see here is the sign to a lovely place with food that's bad for your bod but oh so good for your soul. The Stardust Diner is a yet-another-1950s-style diner, complete with period decorations and a shiny chrome exterior, up in outer east Vancouver on SE 164th Ave just south of Mill Plain Blvd. Me and the Mrs were up there checking in on a friend of her and we stopped by and got some delicious burger-y stuff. 

It has beautiful neon.

Oh, that mustard sky? You might remember last September. The 9th. The Beachie Creek, Lionshead, and Riverside fires were just beginning to cast their mantle over the Metro area, and this was the last day you could see 100 feet in front of your face unobstructed for nearly 10 days. 

Heck of a backdrop for that sign, though
