'Warbird Diner' Pays Homage To WWII

Couple Opened The Restaurant In Courtland, AL

A small town in Alabama may not seem like the most likely place to open up a WWII-themed diner, but that's exactly what Lisa and Greg Pace have done in the town of Courtland, which boasts a population of about 600.

The couple has opened up 'The Warbird Diner'  and decorated it with memorabilia, photographs and other items associated with the period of the early 1940s. The Paces said that they wanted to pay homage to the Courtland Air Base, which was a major training facility for Army Air Corps pilots during the war. Lisa Pace told the Decatur Daily that the airbase "has a lot of history that many people don't know about."

The Paces told the paper that they plan to fashion a new sign for the restaurant out of old airplane parts.

The restaurant is being well received by the residents of the small, historic town, which has been suffering economically in recent years. 81-year-old Courtland Councilwoman Shennell Hughes said that the citizens have been very supportive of the restaurant since its opening in October, and she hopes it will be an economic spark for the community.

If you happen to be in the neighborhood, The Warbird Diner serves traditional American and Southern dishes such as chicken wings, catfish, burgers and pork chops. And Lisa Pace said the Fried Apple Pie is the best-selling dessert on the menu.
