Valentine diners endures as Kansas relics near Reno County
The old Valentine diner beside Loda Center near Arlington in Reno County remains a rusted relic as hundreds of units once built by Arthur Valentine spanned Kansas and beyond. Despite decay, several dozen still operate in Kansas and nearby states offering 1950s era cuisine, while others repurposed as liquor stores or payday loan shops.
