MECHANICSBURG, Pa. — The landmark East Shore Diner in Harrisburg has found a new home on the west shore.
On Monday, the diner was loaded on a trailer from its Harrisburg location, off South Cameron Street, and transported across the river, to its new site in Mechanicsburg.
The nearly 40-year diner was forced to move because of the I-83 Capital Beltway Redesign Project.
Movers made the final preparations on Monday, where Bill Katsifis, owner of East Shore Diner, said his final goodbyes to the site he owned since he was 24-years old.
Katsifis said the move was shocking at first, but he is excited for what the future holds at the new location.
"I have accepted it," said Katsifis. "It's on the trailer ready to go and everything is going in the right direction."
The old diner traveled up on Carlisle Pike to its new home on Waterford Drive in Mechanicsburg. Renamed, Silver Spoon, Katsifis said the new location will serve ice cream, coffee and other sweet treats.
