From Mick Melvin:
My wife, Amy, and I were going to a wedding in Amesbury, Mass., and came across Pat's Diner in neighborhing Salisbury. After doing a little research, I found out that it was a great place to stop. The owner, Patricia Poulakos Archambault, was the beloved owner of Pat's Diner. She was proud of her Greek heritage and loved serving her Greek specialties.
From Wikipedia: "The diner was built in 1950 as #824 by the Worcester Lunch Car Company, as a custom job for James and Ann Evans. They had opened their first diner in Haverhill, also called Ann's Diner, in 1948, and moved it to the present site later that year. The business was successful enough that they ordered the present diner as a replacement. It was specifically designed to accommodate a separate dining room, and was opened in April 1950. The Evanses owned the business until 1960, after which it went through a succession of owners. From 1976 to 1987 it was owned by Norman Brockelbank and known as Norm's Place. The diner was closed between 1997 and 1999. In 1999 it was acquired by...Archambault, who restored it and reopened it...."
The diner struggled through the pandemic, and when Pat passed away in 2021, the diner closed.
From reading online comments about Pat's Diner, it was a great place to eat and Pat treated her customers like family. It would have been a great place to experience.
Not sure whether the diner can be saved or if it will be demolished.
