History lovers open WWII
Lisa Pace
Lisa  and Greg Pace were drawn to the tiny town  which boasts about 600 residents  because of its ties to World War II with the Courtland Air Base  which was built during the war as an instrumental training center.
 Lisa  told the Decatur Daily this past is what they pulled from for their restaurant  The Warbird Dinerâs aesthetic.
âThe design for the interior came from the 1940s when the Courtland Air Base was a training facility for the Army Air Corps pilots â Lisa Pace said. âThe airbase has a lot of history that many people donât know about.â
The restaurant is decorated with war memorabilia  photographs and ceiling fans that look like a nose from a WWII fighter jet.  She  also said they are planning to recreate the restaurantâs sign using parts of an old plane.
The diner  which opened early this month  serves traditional American and southern fare like catfish  chicken wings  pork chops and burgers.  Lisa  told the Daily that the fried apple pie is the most popular dessert on the menu.
âWe are proud to recognize all men and women from Lawrence County and Courtland who served in the military in any capacity â  Lisa  said.
