Silver Grill closing: Are diners a dying breed?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

But on Dec. 22, owner Kevin Huggins is closing the doors for good. “We’re a diner, and that’s a fading institution,” Huggins said. “The people buying the half-million dollar condos on Peachtree are not going for collard greens and corn bread.” Are American diners such as this one are becoming a dying breed and, if so, is this a bad thing?
