O'Rourke's Diner, 1946-2006
O'Rourke's Diner in Middletown, Connecticut burned down this morning.
That shouldn't mean much to you, but I feel like a lost a family member right now.
About halfway through my freshman year of college at Wesleyan, a group of about 5 of us decided on a Sunday night to hit O'Rourke's at 7:00 am the next morning.
We kept going every Monday until we graduated.
