Well, it looks like the front end of an old Constellation (the one with the triple tail), but no idea where.
Hmmm. On my browser I get a double 'triple', but when I try to edit the post there's only one 'triple'. Is it me?
And now on a different computer/browser, things look fine. Morale: don't use IE6.

Yesteryear.
A little digging would suggest that this was once Flannery's restaurant in Penndale PA and the aircraft "parked" on the roof was used as a cocktail lounge and for parties, but sadly is no more. The place closed in '97 after the place fell into a state of disrepair. The plane was taken to Delaware air force base in Dover.
The BP gas station that now occupies the site has a model plane on top of there sign to commemorate the site.

Yep - Flannery's, otherwise known as the Airplane Diner in Penndel on old US-1. Years ago, I went past it twice a day on the way to and from work. I don't know why, but I never went in the place. They started losing business when new US-1 was built, and the completion of I-95 through the area was all she wrote.
