In today’s post-COVID-19 world, many local restaurants are struggling to stay in business.
The historic MacAlpine’s Diner and Soda Fountain is among them. The nearly 100-year-old diner and former pharmacy has been closed since 2020, and its owner, Monica Heizenrader, is working toward reopening early next year.
