Diner

Magnolia Diner (closed)

1009 Pulaski Highway
Joppa, MD 21085

Manufacturer: Mountain View (1952)

This diner has been on this site since the golden age of automobiling. 'Yeah, this was a hoppin' place back then,' says the owner's son. 'We had a jukebox and sometimes a line out the door.' Two things drove them out of business: McDonald's and the opening of I-95 (which parallels Route 40). Those two events took most of their customers away.

This old diner building is now used for Pulaski Highway Motors, a junkyard and car dealership.
