"According to the menu, Mickey's Dining Car was one of the first diners to be built in the Art Deco style."

"If you are hungry and in St. Paul, Mickey's is always open!"

"Mickey's was trucked to St. Paul in 1937 from New Jersey, where it had been built by diner man Jerry O'Mahony, known in hash house history as "the man who brought the toilet inside.""
