He was a great man, great co-worker, great friend, and a great reminder that things are never that serious, and we all need to smile more. His presence and his smile reminded us of that daily, and we hope our memories of him will keep that positive energy alive ❤️

We had an emergency electrical outage that started Tuesday morning and lasting through today. Some underground wire (from 1925! See slide 3) caught fire and burned out, leaving us and Kim’s Cleaners out of power.
has been working since late last night and power just came back on!
We are beyond grateful for the hard work of the linemen on the job.
We are going to stay closed for the rest of today, but will reopen tomorrow at 11:30!

Closing for two days for a small business is not an easy thing, but we are fortunate that we are up and running, and that it wasn’t a worse problem. Our streetery is in a bit of disrepair, but we’ll figure it out!

We had to cancel our buck a shuck happy hour today due to this, so we are going to host it TOMORROW (Thursday) from 430p-730p.

If you can make it - awesome. Or come for lunch or dinner tomorrow, or over the weekend.
