The 29 Diner is a diner in Fairfax, Virginia, located near the intersection of Route 29 (Lee Highway) and Virginia State Route 123. ==History== The 29 Diner opened on July 20, 1947. It was built by the Mountain View Diners Company of Singac, New Jersey. D.T. "Bill" Glascock (deceased) purchased the diner and had it shipped to a strip of land that he owned in Fairfax, Virginia. Glascock and his wife, Elvira "Curly," ran the diner for the first several years, and thereafter leased the building to a succession of business owners. In 1973, the Tastee Diner company bought the location and it became the ''Tastee 29 Diner." In 1992, the diner was declared to be a historic site. Marc Christian Wagner, an architectural historian from the Charlottesville-based Preservation Associates of Virginia organization wrote the statement of significance. The opening of the statement declares: Thus, in 1992 the Tastee 29 Diner was added to the list of National Register of Historic Places. In the late-1990s, Fredy and Ginger Guevara (Ginger being a former waitress of the 29 Diner in the mid-1960s) bought the location and restored its original name of 29 Diner. For years the diner was open twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, with the exception being Christmas Day. In January 2009, the diner began closing on Monday nights due to the recession facing the United States, however in 2014 it was restored back to being open 24 hours a day. In May, 2014, the 29 Diner went out of business under the operations of Fredy and Ginger Guevara, but the property lease was quickly picked up by Fairfax native John Wood, who planned to reopen it in the summer of 2014. 〔(29 Diner official website )〕 After some delays, the diner reopened to the public at 12:01am on September 11, 2014. It is open 24 hours Tuesday through Sunday and closed on Monday. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「29 Diner」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
