Want a memento from an iconic local diner? You’ll have your chance to get equipment and decorations from the historic Tastee Diner in Silver Spring, Maryland, during an online auction this month.
Maybe you had a first date under one of their decorations or artwork, such as the “Free Beer Here (Tomorrow Only)” or Marilyn Monroe picture. Now it can hang in your living room or game day room (They are also selling their Super Bowl XXII poster, where Washington beat up Denver).
You can also purchase the neon “Open 24 Hours” sign that hung at the entrance — nice for your kitchen when you go get a midnight snack.
Or if you are looking to be a little more utilitarian there are dozens of shelving units, pots, pans, knives and industrial kitchen appliances.
Tastee Diner opened in Silver Spring in 1935. The Montgomery County Council declared it a historic landmark in 1994.
