I agree that Shore Diner was demolished to build the BK. My father often referred to it as "Jerry's Diner" so I guess that was the name before it became Shore Diner and the dining room was added.
Can't remember his name, but the counterman I think cooked all the breakfasts, counter and dining room, carried kitchen matches and had one lit in front of you as soon as the cigarette hit your lips. Coffee came in diner mugs, except "Coffee for a lady" meant cup and saucer. No checks or written order pads. He carried a ticket pad and punch on his belt and when you were done, he punched the numbers totaling $1.35 or whatever on the ticket and you took that to the cashier.
