A quick and (easy?) cache close to a historic diner in Chicopee with parking nearby. Lots of muggles; please use stealth.
On the west side of Yelle Street in the Willimansett area of northern Chicopee stands a historic diner. It was, at the time of its listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000, one of only of two diners in Massachusetts built by Master Diners of New Jersey, which operated from 1940 to the 1970s. It is set close to the road, with the parking area to its north and west. The manufactured portion of the diner is oriented perpendicular to the road on a brick-faced concrete foundation, with a concrete block kitchen addition to the south. The original grill is still in place behind the counter, and the rear wall has steel panels with starburst motifs. The ceiling has a monitor section that includes traces of the interior's original color scheme. The diner was brought to Chicopee in 1958, and opened its doors the following year as The White Diner. It was purchased in 1962 by Al Rubin, who changed its name to Al's Restaurant. The current owners purchased the diner in 1975 and have operated under its current name for four decades.
