I remember in the mid 1970s, my best friend's mom worked at Dunk 'N Dine. I do hope they will re-purpose the building along with the dry cleaners (which is such a beauty in architecture) but I doubt it - no one (especially developers) appreciate the beauty of those kind of buildings anymore and they will most likely be demolished and some kind of high rise condos or yet another large storage building (like the one across the street where the Varsity, Jr. was) will be built. I still miss Happy Herman's and Katz Deli.Disneypalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17564104426996634705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-53274553175685860232019-03-07T10:49:10.372-05:002019-03-07T10:49:10.372-05:00The gravy fries(gay fries) at dunk and dine were e...The gravy fries(gay fries) at dunk and dine were epic!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-3983107045492047252019-03-07T10:17:28.713-05:002019-03-07T10:17:28.713-05:00Scully, please don't talk with your mouth so f...Scully, please don't talk with your mouth so full!<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-2780998505451350522019-03-06T20:38:01.767-05:002019-03-06T20:38:01.767-05:00Yeah.

The premise is definitely out of date. Unfortunately diners are a losing battle in Atlanta Metro in favor of trendy 'brunch' places. Thumbs Up, Landmark, Atlanta Diner, Decatur Diner, etc. Other than Original Pancake house, there aren't many breakfast options left in this area.

This a great location that needs to develop and it doesn't have to be high-end either. The city needs starter homes; maybe this location can help fulfill that need to a small extent. atlcubfannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-55295498833704582162019-03-04T12:15:37.627-05:002019-03-04T12:15:37.627-05:00We used to go to the Dunk n' Dine on North Dru...We used to go to the Dunk n' Dine on North Druid Hills near Buford Highway all the time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-38942080194231016352019-03-04T12:04:37.915-05:002019-03-04T12:04:37.915-05:00Big fan of diner like places, but Landmark and Buc...Big fan of diner like places, but Landmark and Buckhead were just far too expensive.
