At 5PM the movie, "A Christmas Story" will be shown. For more details visit the Collected Stories Bookstore website.

One year went by so quickly. Back on this date in 2008, the L & S reopened its doors. This time it was under the operation of Linda Raines.

Although it isn't a classic manufactured diner, it includes several features reminiscent of those many associate with diners. Frank Lee and Ike Simmons were the first owners. It was designed by local architect D'Earcy Davis and built in 1947.

At sixty-two years of age, it doesn't look ready for retirement. Stop in and let them know you read about the diner at DinerHistory.com.
