Abandoned Diner, Foster RI
I’ve driven by this diner for several years and I’ve never seen it open. It’s at the beginning of Rt 6 in Foster RI after you leave 395N in CT and cross into the RI state line.
If anyone knows anything about the history of this diner please let us know.
UPDATE: A reader advised me that in late 2023 the diner was torn down and it’s now a vacant lot. I had driven by in mid-December of 2023 and saw that for myself. I’m glad that this image was taken. Perhaps it’ll bring back some good memories for somebody.
Photographed with a Sony Nex 7, 24.3MP mirrorless camera and a Sony 18-55 at 30mm (35mm equiv.).

I drove by there today, and it is gone. Just dirt where it used to be.
I googled the address, it was Cherri’s state line diner until 2015, a fire closed the business.

I don’t know if you went to the right location. I drove by this diner on September 22nd, 2023 and it was still standing and still abandoned.

Hi Marco,
Thanks for the update. I haven’t been by in at least a couple of months. Was there last time through but obviously it’s gone for good. All the more reason I’m glad that I took the photo. I can’t tell you how many old factories etc. that I’ve photographed which ultimately got torn down. Some got turned into living quarters but many just wiped off the map. It’s good to have a record. Thanks again for letting our readers know this. Take good care.
