This old Valentine Diner, located at 320 East Second Street, has been called the Highway Diner, Monday's Cafe, and Irene's in the past. The 9-stool diner probably opened about 1946 after Mayor J. Lester Allen ordered it. It also has been called Monday's Cafe and Irene's. The building received a grant for its restoration in 2008. However, it has been entirely repainted today and appears to be a business building. Photo by
