Items moved upstairs made room for tables downstairs for customers who want to eat in for breakfast and lunch.

James Gregory, "The Funniest Man in America", will be at Grace Hall on Friday, Feb. 17.
Gregory is a comedic storyteller akin to listening to a friend, grinning and his shirt un-tucked with his arms outstretched, sharing his experiences.
