After a long and bumpy journey to get back on its feet, the legendary Moondance Diner is up and running as a reimagined truck stop joint in the town of LaBarge, WY—population: 431. Once an unmissable icon of Sixth Avenue south of Houston, Vince and Cheryl Pierce have had it operating for a month in their hometown where they hauled the diner out to on a flatbed truck two years ago. The Moondance is the only full-time restaurant in LaBarge, a town the News reports has "no stoplights, two police officers, five churches and an outdoor rodeo arena." The mayor of LaBarge told the paper, "Everybody knows everybody around here. We don't have shootings or gangs." The Pierces have attempted to keep the original charm of the diner with its penny-tiled floor from the '30s and vintage milkshake glasses, which have been such a hit that the restaurant ran out of ice cream during its first week. One truck driver said, "It's a bit of culture shock for us. I don't even know where Manhattan is...I'd probably be eating microwave spaghetti tonight if it wasn't here."

That should be WY not WI.
Glad the Moondance lives. Good on ya Wyoming. Good on ya Alabama, enjoy the Cheyenne.
Unhappy that insane developer-driven madness has robbed Manhattan's west side of the Cheyenne, the River, the Munson, and downtown's Moondance. Staten Island's Victory is in storage, hopefully awaiting a rebirth in South Beach. (SI still has Cargo).
Our NYC diners are vanishing and with them, the opportunities for your webmaster to get cheap eats in pleasant surroundings. (The Waterfront Crabhouse in Hunter's Point almost burned down too.)
Enjoy the Airline (now one of the Jackson Hole empire) TBone, Pop, and the Ham and Egger in Queens. There are still plenty left in New Jersey, so the road is calling.
Yuppies eat only sushi and gourmet chocolate. Give me the Mohegan burger with a Hershey bar chaser. Enjoy your new Manhattan!

Kevin Walsh, you are the bomb!
The Vegas Diner in Brooklyn (Dyker Heights) is excellent.
ugh. if i wasn't from here i'd never live here, i'll tell you that much.
either scum or rich people, and everything is expensive and unbearable.
So why don't you leave? There are many options: train, bus, plane, etc.
"That should be WY not WI."
And Wyoming isn't in the midwest.
"And Wyoming isn't in the midwest. "
To New Yorkers it is! ;)
my guess is that billy's from ohio or minnesota
Nah, more likely the tri-state area.
Wyoming is closer to the Pacific Ocean than to any state that could correctly be deemed part of the Midwest. Sorry.
"A Fantabulous Night One a More for Moondance Midwest"
...and this title makes no sense. Are you trying to say "One more fantabulous night?" I don't get it.
"Are you trying to say "One more fantabulous night?" I don't get it."
The phrase "one a more moondance" is from Van Morrison's song Moondance."
this whole post is gobledigook. REVISE.
Good riddance-another intestinal destroying abomination has left the city! A ticker tape parade should be held! there are plenty of greasy spoons that aren't staffed with transparent people concerned about their hair or their next casting call...
"I don't even know where Manhattan is..."
What are you, an idiot?
