Roy's Diner:
Quick History: Here is another one that is close and the experts are not 100% positive if this village is based upon a real location. After some research it was determined that this would be included because the picture above shows Roy's Grill. However, when it first opened it was known as Roy's Diner. As a result it is considered a real place based upon this name change.
