Sam’s Diner Closing After Nearly 7 Decades
Sam’s Diner, a Glens Falls staple for nearly seven decades, is closing the business; it’s been under its current ownership for 20 years. Their last day is tomorrow, February 25, and they’ll be open at their 23 Dix Avenue location from 7:30am to 1:30pm.
Takeout Made a Tad Easier at Fenimore’s Pub
