Heads up, literally! The local, iconic The Brown Bag is bringing down the dated porch structure that spans their storefront, over to Ziemer Gallery, but they’re not stopping there!! Facade improvements are underway, with more plans to structurally improve the building, including an ADA entrance and....bathrooms! Be patient and lend your support to this landmark establishment in our historic downtown, as they invest in their property to preserve it and provide a better dining experience.
