| Front Street Brewery Front Street Brewery is now a long-standing resident of our downtown; however, their growing business ran short on space recently. Construction is now complete on the expansion to the front of their restaurant, which has added seating for 22 more patrons. Owner and operator, Jennie Ash, was pleasantly surprised to find that the new view out the front window has created a great place to eagle-watch along the riverfront. |
