Patrick and I aim to do one or two big house projects each year, and we were on the verge of rebuilding the wall between the living room and office, with a list of contractors to call for estimates and then the pandemic hit. While construction is of course an essential business, it wasn’t like…

It is odd that the furniture inside have faded sold tags, as if they were off to a new home, but instead they still sit, waiting, caked in dust. Did you ever get to stop and eat at Jenny Rose before it closed?
