Mama’s 39th Street Diner closes on Sunday
Easter Sunday will be the final day of business for Mama’s 39th Street Diner, the tidy little breakfast-and-luncheonette located in the old Nichols Lunch building at 3906 Waddell. “They told us that they just don’t have the money to keep it open,” said Tammy, one of the waitresses working the lunch shift today. “The rent is very high.”
There were only four occupied tables in the dining room, including two single diners eating alone. There was a time when this restaurant did a booming lunch business. What happened?
