Description
Interior view of counter area in the Neon Diner, 653 Congress Street. Waitress Krista Gronlund, holding tray. The Neon opened in December 1989.
Quote from the Maine Sunday Telegram:
"An urban eatery that comes pretty close ot being all things to all people. The clientele is as varied as the tunes in the jukebox. On a recent weekday night, customers included an elderly gent wearing a 1940s suit (complete with fedora), a family of four, all dressed in shorts and t-shirts, and a trendy couple wearing fluorescent sneakers and gold chains."
[653 Congress Street, immediately east of the Trelawny Building, had previously been home to Soule's Candy Kitchen]
