Diner flashback: Councilmember hints that Denny's is coming, saying it would kill us. As it turns out, he was helping them move in just a stone's throw away. See video http://bit.ly/noxuqC at 02:46:50

Diner flashback: Gov't gave $800k for a national pancake chain to build its Columbia Heights location. Zero $ to independent diner, despite requests. http://bit.ly/v1FJzG

Friends,

We sincerely appreciate your support, patronage, and-- most of all-- friendship over the past two years. You're more than customers; you're our friends and neighbors.

Although we received positive response to our recent improvements, we also encountered rising costs, a declining economy, and a national chain "diner" restaurant opening almost a stone's throw away. Now, we must refocus and reformat our restaurant to move forward.

This weekend, we'll open from 7am until 6pm on Saturday and Sunday so that we can meet up one last time to say good-bye before we close to reformat and improve our concept.

Again, thank you for your support and encouragement, we'd love to see you one last time at the old diner to say good-bye this weekend.

Sincerely,

Matt & the Capital City Diner crew

Guy comes in, threatens Matt, then asks for a toothpick. Gets upset when he can't get one, threatens Matt again. And people wonder why folks are reluctant to open businesses in the neighborhood.

Items available but not on the menu. Availability subject to how busy we are. Prices sorta made-up as we go.
