That includes bits about the friend he's known forever that recently turned gluten-free (making dining out tough), how Staples is benefiting from the protest movement (which has practically turned into Pokémon GO) and how he's already getting poor posture from his smartphone. "We're going to be the first of our generation that complains in the old age home that we don't have good WiFi," he said. Davis, who's been …

More Than Coffee: Stamford Diner Celebrates 30 Years In Business STAMFORD, Conn. -- Elm Street Diner celebrated its 30 year anniversary on Tuesday, Nov. 7 with -- what else? -- cake. And oh, what a cake it is.

(The cinnamon sugar donuts that they make themselves are a story in themselves.) According to the restaurant's website, the diner opened in November 1987 and has undergone several renovations since then. Mainly the family-owned eatery sets out t…
