Forest Diner

Exterior The Forest Diner, an original Silk-City dining car (now hidden behind additions and siding) has dished out coffee and eggs in Howard County, Maryland since 1946 - when the county was more farmland than wealthy sleeper-suburb. Sixty years and two owners later, the diner boasts some of the same loyal customers - and the business struggles to find its niche among a rapidly changing demographic.
