Yes, this place was literally located beneath a parking garage in Ottumwa, Iowa. Not Missouri, I know. But I was on a road trip up to West Branch to see a David Plowden show, and was amazed to find this neon-bedecked diner crouching in the shadow of a downtown parking structure. I assume the lot had been built up around and over the canteen. Its lunches must be notable, to eschew demolition and preserve a most unlikely piece of commercial real estate in Ottumwa.
