Shorty’s Diner plans to open a new location in mid-February at 5625 W. Broad St., a space formerly occupied by Metro Diner in the Libbie Place shopping center near Willow Lawn. It will be the restaurant’s second location, coming about 10 years after the first location opened just outside Williamsburg.
