It's time once again for Weekend Reflections, graciously hosted each week by James at Newtown Area Photo. Be sure to visit and see some beautiful photography from around the world. I got a new camera for Christmas (guess DH got tired of me borrowing his) We set out the Saturday after Christmas to try it out. These are some shots of a Georgetown icon, the Monument Diner. This favorite local diner quickly outgrew it's original location and the owners built a new restaurant right up the road. They did a wonderful job of recreating it, just enlarged it and added more parking. The old building is sitting unused at the moment, but will soon be renewed as a local market selling locally grown produce, dairy and meat. I can't wait! 
Make sure to stop by and say hello to James and see what everyone is sharing this week!

PS...How fun that you had snow! I'm jealous!
that is stylish and i like the square glass collage... look at those houses reflected on the glass windows....
Have a wonderful and safe season Kathy. Thanks for coming on board as I do yours.
All the best!
This is a neat old building, and your photos show it well. Great reflections!
Thanks for visiting!

I'm like you. It seems like I'm always sizing up reflections for pictures. I like your shots, they remind me of the place where my wife and I used to eat Saturday breakfast when we lived in Irving TX. It was called The Local Diner. :)
My husband received a Diners, Dives & Driveins cookbook. We always watch that show as much for the buildings as the food.
Nice shots, especially the second. I love glass block when used properly. Diners are neat. I live in NJ where there are probably more diners than anywhere else in the world. Nothing like breakfast in a good diner.
Oh Kat, so glad you got a new camera, your pictures are just wonderful. The old dinner is just fabulous. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I am down with a cold, but hope to bounce back soon. Hugs, Marty
What a fabulous old building and really neat reflections!
Those are beautiful reflections and the second one is my favorite.

Nice looking photos of the diner I like the shape of the building. Nice Reflections. I got a new camera too. Just 4 Weekend Reflections. Thanks for stopping by This Blog Of Mine.

As well as the reflections, it is the shape of this diner that is so adorable!
Health and happiness to you as we travel into 2010.
Congratulations on the new camera... it is always exciting! The old diner is beautiful, and the reflections are great!
Thanks for stopping by!
I wish you a Happy New Year!
Glad you got a new camera, Kathy! These shots are great. And I'm happy for you that the diner is still around and that its previous location will be a local market! Yea! I love local produce.
XO.
Sheila (who is technically on blog break from overdoing it before and during Christmas!) :-)
It looks very special ! Nice reflections in the windows !
Beautiful reflection, Kathy! I like this building. It's modern but has a nice homely atmosphere!
Cool angle for a shot! Nice reflections!
What a wonderful present a new camera!!!! Those are lovely pictures! Glad they are going to do something with that beautiful building.
By the way, Emily does keep her room pretty clean! She does put a lot of stuff under her bed though!lol
Hi Kathy!
What a fabulous diner and I'm glad the original one will still be able to be used in a good way.
Enjoy your new camera! I'm still trying to figure the one I got for my birthday out...so much to learn! :-)
PS To answer your question in your comment to me-- I'm not sure where those gingerbread creations were built. My guess is that they were made at each bakery and then transported. They all had a base of some sort
What would we do without our digital cameras? I remember when the Polaroid came out and we thought that was cool. Glad to see this great space will some be home to such a great venture.
Hope you have a stellar 2010.
Happy Twirls
The second picture is perfect for reflections. Happy New Year 2010!
Congrats on the new camera!
First, I love that they recreated the first diner only larger and secondly, I love that the original will be used to sell local products. This is a win-win in my book.
Happy New Year!
That is a really cool looking old diner Kathy. Love the shape and the window.
Happy New Year & Many Blessings!

A very interesting architecture for a restaurant.
Best wishes for the use of the new Camera! :)

Nice shots..I love the angle on these, and the reflections are great. The new camera is good!
Happy New Year Sweetie...
It has been a wonderful year in 2009 and I can't wait to see what 2010 brings to each of us.
I love this post. That diner is so beautiful. I would love to just walk right in, sit down and order a burger and fries, I think they are calling me. Thank you as always for sharing.
Here's wishing you happiness, love, prosperity, peace and good health.
Country hugs sweetie...Sherry
Cool old style building.
