by Gary Thomas
(200 images, 128 pages)


Cover of Diners of the North Shore Diners of the North Shore is a fascinating collection of mostly previously unpublished images from the golden age of the diner. Bearing names such as Hesperus in Gloucester, Lafayette in Salem, and Suntaug in Peabody, diners of Boston's North Shore imbued a literary, historical, and cultrual sense of the region as well as satisfying one's immediate nutritional needs. Whether a primitive "Night Owl" lunch wagon or the art deco inspired "Sterling Streamliner", Diners of the North Shore showcases each diner's unique character, along with the colorful personalities who ran them.
