FROM THE TIME FLIES FILES…
As I’ve mentioned before, these anniversary acknowledgements run when we have the space and therefore the timing of the mention and the business’ actual anniversary month may not match — but they still deserve the notice …
✔ And it was about a year ago when Riccardo and Wendy Jocobus bought the Drunk Brush and the adjacent Courtyard Suites in downtown Quincy. The lounge features a frequently changing albeit impressive selection of wines to suit even the most discriminating connoisseur complemented by an equally impressive selection of domestic and imported beer — all to be enjoyed with the live music performed a couple nights a week. The couple moved here from Oakland with their three children, Luciana and twins Lorenzo and Chiara.
✔ Chris Nicholson has owned and operated The Graeagle Lighting Co., and I must say he has done a tremendous job expanding his inventory to satisfy his growing customer base. His furniture showroom includes name brands such as Lane, Sunny Designs, Barcalounger and Broyhill. Chris also carries patio furniture, lighting, flooring and window blinds, making this truly a one-stop shop for the home! He is located in downtown Graeagle.
