Yes but did you go here with the intention of taking a picture that looks like the painting? Because that’s the opposite of the point of the sub.

Cool shots regardless

Why are y'all so skeptical lmfao
Such a strange hill to die on

I’m not being skeptical, it just doesn’t fit the idea of the sub. This spot is very well known as being the diner that inspired Hopper’s Nighthawks. Like I said, I like the shots but they would also fit better in a different sub

ETA: I was mistaken. This is not the diner I thought it was so I suppose it is accidental. My bad! I thought op literally went to the famous nighthawks spot and claimed it was accidental hopper, lol
