“The Pelican Diner”<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

St. Pete Beach, Florida<\/p>\r\n

The\u00a0familiar style Silver Diner, at 7501 Gulf Blvd, in St. Pete Beach, Florida opened in 1951 and became an icon of American History for decades. In the 1990’s, I\u00a0participated in several street festivals, located within a block of the diner.\u00a0Everyone that ate at the diner seemed to know each other, because of the morning rituals of breakfast or lunch.\u00a0 I took many pictures of the diner after the show closed and returned the next year with the painting and prints, which were a popular item for the locals.<\/p>\r\n

The Pelican Diner closed in 2001.\u00a0 I had heard that the owners ran the diner for all those years and were unable to continue.\u00a0 The Diner was sold in 2003, with the intentions of moving it to another location and reopening.\u00a0 The last information I have, is the diner is sitting in storage somewhere, but that corner on Gulf Blvd, no longer has\u00a0the familiar aroma in the morning of bacon and sausage.<\/p>\r\n

Other Silver Diners I have painted are:\u00a0 Rosies Diner, Rockford, MI<\/a>;\u00a0 \u00a0 Rosies Diner #2, Rockford, MI<\/a>;\u00a0 \u00a0 Inside the Silver Diner – Red<\/a>;\u00a0 Inside Silver Diner – Pink<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n
