Welcome to Awakenings

Life IS history in the making. Every word we say, everything we do becomes history the moment it is said or done. Life void of memories leaves nothing but emptiness. For those who might consider history boring, think again: It is who we are, what we do and why we are here. We are certainly individuals in our thoughts and deeds but we all germinated from seeds planted long, long ago.

MORE on the All-American Diner

Meet Miss Mendon: Classic Diner of Distinction 

by Marilyn Armstrong

Miss Mendon was born on the drawing board at the Worcester Dining Car Company in 1950 in Worcester, Massachusetts. Over the next 63 years, she did considerable traveling until she found her way to Mendon, the heart of New England‘s Blackstone Valley.
In her current incarnation, she is Miss Mendon, having begun as Miss Newport. She has been repainted, re-tiled, given an expanded dining area and a new kitchen. She’s had a long life and seen hard times, but despite everything, she has survived with grace and character.



She was assigned number 823 although she was actually the 623rd dining car built after Worcester Dining Cars began numbering dining cars using 200 as the base number.


She debuted on May 16, 1950. She is very much the same as she has always been. Her layout is unchanged from its original design. Her new owners modernized her a bit and added dining space along the side. 



She sports a professional kitchen.
The seats have been re-chromed, cleaned and restored. Miss Mendon looks as if she was built just yesterday She’s open for business serving good food to the people of the Valley.



You can visit her at 16 Uxbridge Rd, Mendon, Massachusetts, She is open for your dining pleasure every day from 6 AM to 10 PM. 

An American icon lives on...

    Cool. I love it. When I lived in Vermont, we ate at a place that's set up in the old style similar to yours.
