A South Philadelphia staple is changing with the times.

Penrose Diner will end its 24-hour service due to staffing issues, the restaurant announced.

For more than 50 years, the diner at 2016 Penrose Ave. has been serving up meals at all times of the day, but a struggle to fill in the overnight shifts means the restaurant will no longer to be able to accommodate the pre-dawn stragglers.

"Staffing the overnight shifts has become increasingly difficult, and we are finding ourselves in a position where we can no longer provide the level of food or service at that time of night that you deserve," staff and management said in a Facebook post.

Workers say the shorter hours will allow them to provide an even higher standard of service.

The diner will still operate seven days a week, but will do so from 6 a.m. to midnight.

The new schedule takes effect Tuesday, Jan. 1.

Temple Loses Football Coach to Miami U. After Just 3 Weeks

0

Former Miami University assistant coach Manny Diaz woke up Sunday morning as the coach at Temple University.

And then the phone rang.

Miami's head coach Mark Richt had stunned the program by retiring as coach Sunday morning, the school gathered itself to begin a search for his replacement a few hours later, and before the day was done Diaz was announced as the new leader of the Hurricanes.

"I never saw this coming," Diaz said. "No one did."

The Hurricanes' defensive coordinator for the past three seasons agreed to a five-year contract to take over the program, and Miami's new coach never truly left Miami. Diaz took the job as Temple coach earlier this month, remained at Miami to coach his defense one last time in the Pinstripe Bowl last week — and was prepping for the move to Philadelphia.

Cancel that truck.

"Miami is home," Diaz said, a native of the city where his father once was Mayor. "The University of Miami is home. The U has truly been 'the job' for me since I first got into coaching. Having worked here over the past three years, I came to understand what it means to be part of `The U' and came to appreciate the passion and commitment to excellence of all who proudly call themselves Canes.

"We will restore the football program to its place among the nation's elite and we will do it with hard work, dedicated coaches, and outstanding student-athletes."

Players were told Sunday night, and were thrilled.

"I give this coach all my respect," Miami running back Camron Davis said.

Temple was not so thrilled, though athletic director Patrick Kraft released a statement wishing Diaz well.

"We are disappointed that he is leaving, but wish him the best as he returns home," Kraft said.

It's the second time that Miami has technically hired Temple's coach away from the Owls: The Hurricanes brought in Al Golden from there in 2010, and eventually replaced him with Richt in 2015.

Diaz apologized to Temple for the bizarre circumstances.

"I hate the way this unfolded with respect to Temple," Diaz said. "I was given a tremendous opportunity to lead the Temple program and I was actively engaged in doing just that when I woke up this morning. ... I do hope that the Temple players, administration and fans appreciate the uniqueness of this situation and the overwhelming pull to stay home."

3 Firms Interested in Building Wind Turbines off NJ Coast

At least three firms are interested in building offshore wind energy projects off the coast of New Jersey.

The state Department of Public Utilities says it received three bids Friday from firms interested in building wind projects, but it wouldn't identify any of them.

A Danish wind company, Orsted, said it had submitted one of them.

The state is seeking companies to build projects that would generate at least 1,100 megawatts of electricity. Orsted estimates that amount could power more than a half-million homes.

Another company, Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind, says it's interested in developing a project that could provide up to 2,500 megawatts.

It was not immediately known Monday whether that firm, which is a joint venture between Shell and EDF Renewables North America, has formally applied.
