Your standard diner, maximizing the utility of a small space.

If you really want to slow dance in the aisles, you can, but if you want more the management suggests you make room for more paying customers.

They hired art students as painters because they work cheap, so there's a little bit of pizzazz.

This 1x3 lot fits neatly in the road frontage along river fronts, spoiling the view.

The ads call it "bold color choices." The contracts called it: "Using up the leftovers."

DinerSign.jpg - width=996 height=696
The flat roof may be plain, but at least it doesn't clip the sign.

The double doors lead to the kitchen, the single door to the restroom, places as far away from the dining area as possible so patrons won't have to fight the dishwashers for the sinks.

Even the kitchen is bright and cheery.

Both outings and intimate dinners are possible here. Dance in the aisles if you have to but please don't sit in the middle of the floor to do an assignment!

A number of other color schemes are only a click of a button away, but this grows on you after awhile. Aren't you tired of boring old "good taste?"

The Land Grant University map has a couple of places where a road fronts the river - prime real estate, but too narrow to use with the lot sizes available with Base Game and University. So while I was making date locations for it with Nightlife, I thought I should make a few that utilized that no-doubt expensive turf. The Just Off Campus Diner is typical of many independently-owned small town American diners, closely resembling railroad dining cars in design; nothing but the basics and hoping for a high turnover of customers. In addition to the LGU riverfront locations, it's just the right size and shape to fit in front of the skyscrapers or high rises of an urban neighborhood, serving the imaginary office workers of those imaginary buildings; and it's small and basic enough for the budding OFB entrepreneur with $50K or so burning a hole in his pocket and the courage to tackle running a restaurant.

As for the color scheme - bright colors stimulate the appetite! (That's my story and I'm sticking to it.)

Lot Size: 3x1
Lot Price (furnished): $50,122
