Owner Jim Linneman and a carpenter friend spent eight months remodeling the space before officially opening the doors in the summer of 1993. The venue has since become a cornerstone of the neighborhood, known for its deep community roots and hosts of events like poetry readings and open mic nights.story_potoo
