From Baton Rouge To Alton - Family Owned Gumbo 2 Geaux Now Open For Business

2 years 11 months ago
ALTON - Gumbo 2 Geaux, located at 1808 Washington Ave. in Alton, had its grand opening Wednesday morning. The location will be primarily drive-thru and carry-out only, however outside dining areas are in the plans moving forward as well as a few tables inside the building. The restaurant ironically opens its doors on National Gumbo Day. Kyndra Green runs the business with her husband, Troy. They moved to Alton from Louisiana six years ago.

2 years 11 months ago
EDWARDSVILLE - A downtown property that served as Edwardsville's first City Hall and was the longtime home of public safety services is being transformed into The Station on Main, an estimated $20 million mixed- use development with residential, office, retail and restaurant space. The property includes parcels from 400-420 N. Main Street, which are owned by Fireside Financial, an Edwardsville-based company that is overseeing the development project. Interior work is underway, and demolition of a former residence within the footprint of the development began this week. Once the project is finished, which is expected in 2024, the multi-level property will include about 38 single- bedroom apartments and townhomes, four restaurants, office space for up to five businesses, and five boutique retail sites, along with on-site parking. “This is an exciting project, and we’re very hopeful that it’s just the beginning of the kind of growth we’ll see in this area,”

A Taste of Fall

2 years 11 months ago

A Chilly Ozark Morning at the Farm We celebrated the first frost of the season with a small fire in the fireplace—-one just warm enough to take the early-morning chill off the bones. Robin did the heavy lifting; I did the pokin’ and stirring.  Off on the Hunt As the temperature warmed up during the...
