I was watching the pilot and Bobby is taking Shelley home early in the morning.

I didn't realize they got that much business to stay open 24 hours in their little neck of the woods.

Not 24 hours, we saw a scene with the Diner closed, when Jonathan beats up Hank... And the Shelly discrepancy was explained perfectly by Geoff recently, the thread must be still around... She probably made the 5AM-9AM shift...

Also, there's a exterior shot that's used a couple of times (like when Maddy is killed) of the darkened RR and it's vacant parking lot. 

The real RR (Twede's) is located is a sleepy little backwater, too, where even the bars close early.  It's open til 9 on Saturdays, 7 on Sundays and 8 the rest of the week.

So where do you go to eat after a night of hard drinking?  Ken's Diner at the Edgewater truck stop

Or you could make the trek over to Hap's Diner in Deer Meadow and get the special from Irene.

No R & R in the RR.

Yeah, unless they're...let's see....replacing the carpet, cleaning the grease traps and hood fans, moving the furniture...um...what other excuses/delays did they give us this past year? LOL I spent a whole week ahead of time crowing to Karlos that we had the diner to fall back on for all our eating pleasures, only to be met with crap limited menus or complete closures each of the first three nights we were in town. I finally gave up. I bet by the last night it was all back to normal though. By then we'd resorted to McDonald's after the bar closed. :)

A nice greasy burger and a milkshake from Tweeds sounds really good.

If only the Fall City Grill was open all night. Yum.

When Norma and Ed are in bed, she also tells him to pick her up at the diner after she closes up.
