The Garden Lady

Local Landmark
If you watched the news in January of 2011, you are aware of the effort to save the Scotia Diner.

The diner has been in the village for many, many years...we went there on Saturday mornings when we moved back to Scotia in 1985. It's a real small town diner - the kind with that GREAT diner food - and it is slated to be leveled along with some run down buildings that surround it to make way for a housing complex that many residents of the Village don't seem to want. In the plan, there is no allowance for the diner to continue to operate at that location. SO, they are actively seeking another site and I sure hope they can find one. It would be a loss for the village to lose this bit of Americana.

I had the chance to take some pictures this morning. My thanks to Anita and Terry for allowing me to publish this page on the diner. You will also see one of their charitable collection spots in the photos, for Clowns on Rounds which serves local hospitals and nursing homes (and of which Anita is actively involved). They also support the Animal Protective Foundation on Maple Avenue. Enjoy!
