it is still stupid to disagree with something you haven't yet heard.

Absolutely, I agree there. But, I'm kinda happy that this little guy operator had so much support (see jocon's report of actually knowing the place further up this thread) that he wasn't wiped out by BIG business. I'm ALL for progress. But, maybe some of the problems in many of our communities is they lack 'heart'. I think little Greek diner guy, may just be a perfect foil for impersonalism in this instance! :-)

I wrote what I was thinking, in the name of the truth as I saw it, but as far as feelings are concerned -- I root for the little guy too. I would not say it better than you did: it is so rare nowadays that the little guy and a bit of "heart" win, that for me too this victory is to "make up" for those that lost.

Thanks for the pointer to jocon's post: I like diners in general (real food served by and eaten with real Americans next to me), and this one sound particularly good. I am not that often in that town, but next time I am there, I'll definitely stop by.
