“That building has gotten around. The stainless steel diner stood at northwest corner of Neil Street and Springfield Avenue in Champaign from 1956 to 1976. It was sold in 1976 and moved to Villa Grove, but then moved back north and became the Elite Diner, on Elm Street in Urbana, from 1983 to 2002.
