These places are gems and I'm glad you were able to take these photos and that you shared them with us. I'm sad another "Mom and Pop" store is gone in the name of urban development.

Cool that you were able to take Michael there. Very nice of you to commemorate your last visit on a CD for the owners It may be gone, but Sunset Humdinger will live on forever in your hearts, memories and your photos.

The traffic lanes aren't any wider coming off the freeway, and it isn't like they feed onto a corridor that can support the kind of traffic the widening project is targeted for. It's ludicrous, and wasteful. <br /><br />We'll need to comb the area looking for another Humdinger. @Wife — you got that right.

Its so sad the Humdinger had to go. Its not like they are really improving the area anyway. From what I can see there will be more traffic congestion... not less.

I've yet to find anything that compares in the area. @Momo — This was a really great place to love, too… just in a very unfortunate location. I've yet to find anything that compares in the area.

Places like this add character and interest to a town. What they replaced it with only allows people to move through more quickly. Seems counter productive to me.<br /><br />@Mrs4444 -- I'm glad there are still some good eats places left.<br /><br />@WeaselMomma -- Turns out the owners opened up a wholesale Asian foods distributor on the other side of town. I was thinking about paying them a visit, to find out more about the place. @Cuz — Progress is what changes a vibrant, neon-decked landscape and turned it into a soul-sucking concrete monolith.

I hope the owners were compensated nicely for the land. Places like that have the best tasting food. I hope the owners were compensated nicely for the land.

I can think a few places here that fit that bill, too, including Al's Hamburger Shop and Kroll's Diner. Both have a lot of character, and they'd be missed a lot if they disappeared. That was nice of you to burn that CD for them. Too bad. I can think a few places here that fit that bill, too, including Al's Hamburger Shop and Kroll's Diner.
