We posted on the Facebook pages of "CHAT Glassboro" and "You know you're from Glassboro if you remember?" to hear what some members of the Glassboro community had to share with us. We cannot guarantee if what they have informed us of is true or not, such as Angelo's real name being Arcangelo, but we personally believed their comments were of value to the history of Angelo's Diner, since the diner itself has so much meaning to the community. Below, we have provided their responses exactly as they wrote them.
  
  
  “Growing up in the late 50's [sic], and high school in the sixeties [sic], Angelo's was THE place to go for a great breakfast. The dinners were a treat, very good, and filling. Great prices as well. Best cup of coffee anywhere as well.” — Jack Komorowski, Facebook
  
  
  “My Nona worked across the street in the laundry mat and she would bring me to work with her. She always took me to the diner to see Angelo. Everyone knew me as the baby with the cast as I was in a full body cast for 18 months due to a hip dislocation at birth. My favorite person to see there was Harry Hess the cook. What a nice man and a great cook at that.” — Deborah Coles, Facebook
  
  
  “We grew up going there back in the 70’s [sic], my aunt was a waitress there, and my father was a mail carrier for downtown glassboro, for 33 years and every morning had breakfast at Angelos [sic]! They would see my father delivering across the street and by the time he stopped in to drop their mail his breakfast would be ready! Great place! Great memories!” — Robin Chew-Thomas, Facebook
  
  
  “My husband is one of the grand children of Angelo. His Aunt and Uncle own if [sic] now. I remember hearing how Angelo was a generous man. My husband and other relatives worked as dishwashers and waitresses. Angelo’s wife also was a waitress with Angelos [sic] daughters. Angelo’s use [sic] to be open 24 hours a day.” — Lori Paul Branco, Facebook
  
  
  “Angelo was very kind to my great Uncle Charles Richard's [sic]. When Uncle Charlie was very ill with terminal cancer, Angelo brought food to Uncle Charlie.” — Lynn Forsman, Facebook
  
  
  “The diner has been a place of joy, family, friends kids for my whole life. Always a great meeting place, to connect with kids, dinner, breakfast or lunch!” — Nancy Kerr Carey, Facebook
  
  
  “...and his [Angelo Tubertini's] first name was actually Arcangelo.” — Alan Koonan, Facebook
  
  
  “Went to grade school at St. Bridget's with one of Angelo's daughters. I remember when they moved the "new" diner to it's [sic] current location in the 50's [sic], replacing the old smaller diner. Nothing better than sitting at the counter watching the magic at breakfast time, cooking meal after meal. Still a must visit for breakfast when back in the Boro from Ohio.” — Dan Cullin, Facebook
  
  
  “My mom mom has worked there for over 50 years shes [sic] 75 now and still working there.” — Erica Mecouch, Facebook
  
  
  “I’m sure Joe and Maryanne Justice (owners) would love to share some memories!! Or Curt the afternoon/evening cook as he’s been there 34++ years!! I’ve only been a “regular” since 2012 and almost every night for dinner. One guy (Jim) has been a regular there for over 70 years.  When the Diner [sic] first arrived it was over near the Stores [sic] on the other side of parking-lot (right side)and near the corner stop-lights....Originally was an old converted type of rail car and Maryanne may have a picture. Originally her Fathers [sic] establishment. Also the Monday and Tuesday night waitress Sally has been there over 35 years. She said at one time (I think late seventies [sic] or so) they were open 24 hours...When the old night-club/bar (can’t remember name but torn down a good 5-6 years ago for Rowan expansion) was open they ended up staggering over to Angelos [sic] after their closing hour....” — James Faulkner, Facebook
