Her grill is sizzling on high with eggs bacon and ham, and she back cooking up a storm for her devoted customers. The Diner’s hours of operations are from 7am-3pm every day, and the Diner is closed on Wednesdays and Thursdays. So glad Irene is back cooking the best breakfast and lunches in town.

The difference a century makes: One hundred twenty years ago, a machine like the one above was installed at the Sullivan County Record offices to upgrade the newspaper’s typesetting capabilities. In describing the typesetter, it was said, “The Simplex is small and compact, weighing about 1100 pounds and occupying no more floor space than an ordinary coal stove... the typesetter uses the same kind of type as is set by hand... It does the work perfectly, and while it is apparently simple, it would be impossible to explain the matter intelligently.” Two persons could work on the machine at one time, one at the keyboard and the other spacing the assembled type. Today we marvel at what we might still be working with to distribute the news, if not for the invention of the personal computer.
