BROOKLAWN-After 60 years Ponzio’ Diner in Brooklawn (Rt. 130 and Browning Road) has changed its name to the Metro Diner. The Ponzio family opened the diner in 1949. That building was located in the same area but more in the middle of the block. It looked like other diners you see in the area, silver in color and one story high. Inside there was a long counter with stools to service customers and a number of booths. I am guessing but I believe in the 1970 or there about the present building seen in the photo replaced the original diner. Much bigger with two large dinning rooms on one side and booths along with the counter and stools on the other side.
