Owners Plan to Convert Classic Laurel Diner Into a Marijuana Dispensary - Eater DC
"The Tastee Diner in Laurel, Maryland, could soon be spiking appetites without selling diner food. NBC reports that new owners of the rare American original constructed in 1951 plan to convert it into a medical marijuana dispensary. That includes a renovation that will mimic the look of an office building. A zoning variance is in the works to set the conversion in motion. The longtime destination for omelettes and coffee, originally known as Laurel Diner, features an iconic square-shaped metallic design made by short-lived firm Comac Incorporated. Only two U.S. Comac designs exist; the other is in Albany, New York." - Tierney Plumb
