This is in my backyard?

Like you all have heard many of times Courtney and I spent a day in Hillsborough, NC.  A lot of our time was spent at the Village Diner. While we were taping that morning everyone kept telling us about the Village Diner and how we had to go. So sure enough we went there to eat lunch, talk to the locals, and see what Hillsborough really is all about. We enjoyed our meal spending time with Ms. Ethel and talking to her daughter Teresa. We met a lot of great locals and learned a lot about the town. Check out the video and see what I mean! Don’t forget to pause and let it buffer before your play it!

I don’t know how many times I have driven by Gypsy’s Shiny Diner on Buck Jones Rd in Cary, NC…. atleast 100 and for some reason I never stopped there! This past Sunday my parents and Aunt Barbara were in town and we were looking for a good place to go for breakfast when we got out of church at 10am. As we were driving back up Buck Jones Rd from Hope Community Church my dad suggested that we try the shiny diner…literally. We were all a little hesitant but we decided to go for it! The cute little diner was packed. It only has 12 or 13 booths and 5 or 6 seats at the bar so it’s kinda tight and you have to wait to get seated. We only had to wait 5 minutes or so before we got our corner booth at the end.

Each booth has it’s own juke box and when your inside you really feel as if your in a 1950’s diner. We had a lot of fun in the diner and the food was pretty good too. I just got a breakfast sandwich which was nothing special but good. I did try some of my dads blueberry belgium waffle and I have to say it was delish! Overall we had a good time and enjoyed the food.

The coolest part of Gypsy’s Shiny Diner is that their open 24 hrs a day on Fridays and Saturdays, not that I’m typically up at 3am on a Friday night/Saturday morning, but if I were Gypsy’s shiny Diner is where I would be!
