Ballston Spa Diner Reopens

The Route 50 Diner in Ballston Spa reopened Thursday morning after it was briefly shuttered and seized by the state Department of Taxation and Finance Tuesday. The Daily Gazette reports a family member of the owner confirmed the diner’s reopening Thursday, but didn’t have details on the brief closure and its resolution. However, the family member said the owner has been dealing with a lot following the loss of his father Walter, who opened the diner, in 2021 and then his mother in 2022.
