Laurel Historical Society & The Tastee Diner

The LHS has come out in favor of preserving the Tastee Diner building in Laurel, one of only two remaining Comac diners in the country. The City of Laurel and the owners recently announced an agreement on it, which the LHS is calling "A Sad Win." A final decision on the diner will come Dec. 20 at the Laurel Board of Appeals meeting.
