Ezra and Jason spoke on the improvements they wish to make at the restaurant, including ADA
compliance. They intend to keep it as a landmark as the building about 100 years old. A couple asked
them if they intend to have outdoor music and loud parties. Ezra and Jason said that is not the plan- just
