Chung Sing Restaurant
Ardmore, PA |
 |
 |
 |
The Chung Sing Restaurant occupies a 1952 Fodero that was once known as Dean's Diner. I don't know how long Chung Sing has been there or when the diner's interior was remodeled and a tile roof added. In 2001, the restaurant/diner was going to be demolished. Then, it was decided it would be saved and sent to the American Diner Museum's "holding pen" in RI. However, as of 2007, it's still here, in great shape, and apparently doing well. For more, see this website.

Ingleside Diner [moved]
Thorndale, PA |
 |
 |
The Ingleside Diner, originally Zinn's Diner, is a 1956 Fodero. This large L-shaped diner arrived in seven pre-built sections. It was owned by Christian Zinn who had two other diners already in the area (Zinn's Diner and the Town Diner). In 1966, this diner was sold and renamed the Ingleside. The downstairs banquet room was still called the "Zinn Room". The diner sat 99 (83 in booths/tables, 16 at stools). The Ingleside closed in late 2001 and was sold in January 2003. A Wawa convenience store took its place in Thorndale. This diner was supposedly moved to St. Louis, MO though I have not heard anything about it. Does anyone know where it is now?
