Vogue Records at Hubbard Avenue Diner

This weekend we were in Middleton at a great restaurant called Hubbard Avenue Diner.

They are famous for pie, but myself I love the biscuits they serve with breakfast. Not biscuits and gravy, just biscuits. I put jelly on them. Mmmm…

Anyway, I have been there many times and there is something there that I never noticed before, but that now that I have seen one, I recognized.

On the way into the bathroom I saw that they had a decoration on the door that is a Vogue record. These are 78 speed picture records. I bought a couple at a garage sale this year and researched them and it seems some of them are quite valuable. E-bay has a bunch at any one time and they do sell.

I stood outside the bathroom and hurriedly snapped this shot.

This is what I have become. Taking a picture of a bathroom door with a record on it. Sigh.

There was one on the Women’s bathroom as well, but I was not going to stand outside that one and get a photo. I know I was seen taking a picture of the Men’s room door and I bet they wondered about THAT!

The Vogue record on the Men’s room door is Vogue Records # R770 performed by Art Kassel. The side in the photo is “If That Phone Ever Rings” and the other side is “The Whiffenpoof Song”. E-bay has them for sale for between $9.99 and $49.98.

As with all things, beauty and value is in the eye of the beholder.

Thanks Hubbard!

  1. Your life has come to this point……it is sad! jk old records like that are cool and I remember the days of listening to those records as a kid but they were the smaller 78’s.

    1. I wasn’t really thinking about standing outside a bathroom and taking a picture until I turned to go back to the table and I noticed that staff had noticed me taking the picture.

      Check please!
