The Nite Owl Diner, last known as "C.C.'s Nite Owl Diner", is a custom-built DeRaffle from 1956. It looks a little smaller than their typical diner to me. The diner closed in 2002 and it was still vacant in 2009. The first photo above from the 1950s shows the original diner that was at this site with the same sign that is there today.
