Billy Sanborn vows to get the beloved Blackwater Junction Restaurant open again as soon as possible. The diner was opened by his dad, Bill Sanborn, almost 40 years ago and has been a favorite spot for residents and visitors ever since.

The building is no longer on the market. There was no fire insurance so Billy will be doing the work himself with the help and support of friends. He can be found down at the diner working, every afternoon and every weekend until the job is done and the doors are open again.
