Courtesy of the Highline Historical Society comes this new B-Town Blog Historical Photo Series, this week featuring Then and Now pics of the now-gone Lou’s Diner, once located at the corner of SW 150th and First Avenue South, and once offering 19-cent burgers!

THEN: Lou’s Diner

NOW: Taco Bell

Note the exact same placement of the light pole on the left side of the shot, as well as the same building still present on the left (the former Schuck’s Auto Supply). We’re not 100% positive, but there may even be an existing tree on the right side of the “Now” photo as well.

The Highline Historical Society is preparing to build its new museum on the corner of SW 152nd and Ambaum Blvd. (where Karuna Yoga is now)…

…and needs donations, which can be done quickly and easily online by clicking here. If you’d like to join the Society, prices start at just $20 per year!
