Hopefully someone else can buy the place and get it going again. Padlocked diners sadden me.

I think Station House or Oatley's would be our best bet

I guess my commitment to go once a month wasn't good enough to keep them afloat.

Its all about you isn't it? Oh...my cholesterol is high, oh...I need to lose weight. Meantime a fine institution has to close its doors. You should be ashamed!

actually even at my fattest, my cholesterol was still ridiculously low. When I ordered Jonnycakes I used to butter up those bad boys, however since I do have to watch my blood sugar, I guess not ordering the real maple syrup was the real culprit that put them under.

I have been a diabetic for years
There is somethings you just have to have the REAL thing and maple syrup is one of those things. I will deal with the high glucose reading and a shot or two, but.....
GIVE ME MY REAL MAPLE SYRUP!!

I just found out from my very reliable source that Jiggers Diner has been sold and will re-open under a different name.
The owners of Oatley's in North Kingstown, a very popular breakfast place bought Jiggers. Apparently the menu shouldn't be too different (Oatley's has Johnnycakes) . I'm very optimistic.

UPDATE
The Chris half of Ayersian and I just left Oatley's
It's not the owner of Oatley's that bought Jiggers Diner, but the former owner of Oatley's (The owner's ex-wife)

Hmmm...ex-wife of diner owner buys competing diner. If they weren't so long in the tooth I'd cast Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner in the movie.

Conceptually, that would make an ideal script, however in reality Jiggers (or the Diner formerly known as Jiggers) is a good 8-10 miles away from Oatley's (in Rhode Island mileage terms 1 mile equals 10 miles to the rest of us) so it's too far away for any competition.

Per the latest update, the Diner formerly known as Jiggers, will get a name change, effective March 2012 when it's slated to re-open the new name will be Jiggers Hill and Harbour Diner, which makes sense since this is the formal name of the Main Street East Greenwich Historic District. although the website doesn't mention that the current owner is the ex-wife of the owner of Oatley's, a previous webcache of the website notes that she is in fact the former co-owner. I look forward to the re-opening. Considering my birthday falls in March, this will be a great gift.
