Lots of diners were either red, black, or blue. There were booths and tables with leather seats and checker floors.
Almost every retro diner I have seen has the color red in its interior. (Hey, maybe blue was popular for kitchens and red was popular for diners!)
The food usually consisted of Burgers, Fries, Milkshakes, Sodas, etc.
Here is a menu from one of my favorite diners, Steak 'n Shake!
I've always loved Steak 'n Shake. My family used to eat there all the time.
Just look at how yummy the food is!
Most diners had a jukebox. It would play music while the customers ate!
Our generation sells a cute retro diner. They also have a waitress outfit! This would be perfect for Maryellen, but AG is already making her a retro diner. If American Girl's Diner is too expensive, I'll be saving my money for this. :)
Have you or you doll ever been to a retro diner?

P.S. Tommorrow we are going on a short vacation to my grandparents lake house! It will be fun seeing my other cousins. I'm also going to interview my Grandpa and Grandma. They lived in the 50's! :)
This may not happen but according to the American Girl Wiki Maryellen's b-day is in 1955 that's the opening year of Disneyland! Licensing may prevent it, but wouldn't it be cool for her story to include disneyland's opening day? If I can get the mini doll I may take her to disneyland.
