On the road for business or driving a rig and looking for a good place to eat? Somewhere fun and kitschy, family owned or perhaps just a darn good breakfast in the middle of the afternoon? How about a good ole’ fashioned classic diner! The tagline for this site is “Your online guide to Classic Dinners and the American Roadside.” The most useful feature of this site is a map of the country with diners organized by state with a photo, address and the year/manufacturer for each diner. It is a comprehensive list with all but nine states having diner listings! This site also has reviews, history of diners, diner manufacturers and even a discussion on what defines a true diner (not to mention the Recommended Diner Reading List). In addition you can find more kitsch with some fun links and pages about Classic Motels, Coffee Shops, Gas Stations, Roadside Attractions and much more!

This website is known as FirstGov for Consumers. It is a “one-stop” link to a broad range of federal information resources available online. It is designed so you can locate information by category — such as Food, Health, Product Safety, Your Money, and Transportation. Each category has subcategories to direct you to areas within individual federal web sites containing related information. For example, on the homepage there is information and links to the National Do Not Call Registry, Kidz Privacy, the Consumer Action Handbook, Identity Theft and Recalls.gov among many others. |
