       COMMEMORATING THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE RED ARROW DINER

  Mr. PAPPAS. Madam Speaker, I rise today in honor of the 100th 
Anniversary of the Red Arrow Diner in Manchester, New Hampshire. As one 
of the most popular diners on the East Coast, the Red Arrow Diner 
enjoys a special place in the folklore of our state and remains a 
popular destination for locals, celebrities, politicians, and tourists 
alike.
  Dating back to the diner's opening in October of 1922, the Red Arrow 
cemented its legacy in downtown Manchester as a quaint, family-friendly 
locale with a knack for home-cooked meals guaranteed to please even the 
most skeptical palate. This tiny little diner on Lowell Street 
flourished into a major chain that today employs one hundred and 
seventy-five people and has expanded operations to Concord, 
Londonderry, and Nashua. Despite this massive growth, the Red Arrow 
remains committed to the values of its founders: serving customers with 
a smile and delivering consistent, quality home cooked meals.
  The Red Arrow Diner's success can be attributed in large part to the 
efforts of Carol Lawrence, her father George Lawrence, and Amanda 
Wihby. Their vision for this diner has made the Red Arrow a must-visit 
destination for visitors from out of state, and their dedication to the 
state of New Hampshire will ensure that the Red Arrow remains a vital 
part of our state culture for another 100 years. On behalf of my 
constituents in New Hampshire's First Congressional District, I thank 
the Red Arrow Diner and its management for 100 years of outstanding 
contributions to our state.
