Eve s Diner in Southmont is new and old at the same time.
The name and location are new, but the family who owns it are familiar faces to Davidson County s eating-out crowd. Evelia Vergara and Gregorio Marquina opened their second restaurant in the county with daughter Karen Marquina at 10545 S. Highway 8 where Nana Kitchen closed in March 2020. Nana s, like many buffet-style restaurants in the country, did not survive the COVID-19 pandemic.
The family opened Eve s Diner on April 8 and Gregg s Kitchen on Dec. 26, 2018. Both restaurants have similar, large menus and offer breakfast all day. I think dad wanted another restaurant, said Karen Marquina, their 20-year-old daughter. She balances being a sophomore at Appalachian State University, where she is majoring in nutrition with managing both of the restaurants.

CANBERRAâS experimental SoundOut Music Festival is back for the 12th time this weekend at the ANU Drill Hall Gallery, and its survival is due to the resilience of one man.
Canberra sax and clarinet player, Richard Johnson, who won a 2015 ART Music Award for the festival, is a true believer that music need not be confined to the page. For many years he has spearheaded this summit of sometimes notated and sometimes purely improvised music on all kinds of instruments, great and small, usually performed by a line-up from across the globe.
Over the years heâs battled against indifference from ACT funding authorities, in spite of evidence that there are many Canberrans who are deeply interested in exploring the boundaries of music.
