Fish Tale Diner Closed

I've been meaning to write about the Fish Tale Diner closing last month at Bridge Marina.
It was originally the Agawam Diner and was moved behind Stripers Rest. at Bridge Marina.
It was a classic diner with wooden booths and a long counter and small juke boxes at every table.

It was my favorite place to grab breakfast in the morning before going down to the boat. It was always packed every weekend from the time they opened at 5am with customers getting on the fishing boats from the Clipper Fleet and stayed that way with fisherman ,tourist and locals till it closed at 1pm.

Two years ago they built a large deck on the back of the diner over looking Newburyport Harbor. They had picnic tables with umbrellas and large flower box's around the rails. The view was great and so was the food.

I don't know why it closed but rumors were the building inspectors came it and told them they needed sprinkler systems and handicap bathrooms and handicap access and the upgrades were to costly.
It's a shame  that its gone and will be missed by alot of folks.

I don't like change
