The former Skee's Diner has been closed for a number of years. Today's Hartford Courant has some encouraging news regarding the 1926 O'Mahony diner.

"The Northwest Connecticut Chamber of Commerce, supported by Torrington officials and a number of other groups, is buying the former eatery. It will be moved about a mile to a commuter parking lot just off Route 8 in Torrington, where it will be restored and used as a welcome and information center, said JoAnn Ryan, president and CEO of the chamber."

We'll monitor the situation and post more information as it becomes available. Read the entire article here.
