"Even Stephens" Diner
| This is a picture of the
"notorious" diner to which the SJ kids used to sneak out and go to
for hamburgers. This is how it looks today. It was closed for
many years but reopened about 6 years ago under new ownership. The
name Even Stephen's comes from the name of owner Stephen Jagiello.
Sadly, Steve was killed in a very tragic car crash last month, and
the diner has been closed since then. It's unsure whether his
family will keep it going or not. |
