Downtown Mason Sees New Life Come To An Old Space

If you're from the Mid-Michigan area, you're probably familiar with the downtown Mason area.

It's a quaint area that is perfect for a nice stroll but hasn't had much to offer when it comes to eateries lately.

New Restaurant Opens Its Doors In Mason

Just across from the courthouse, Mason finally is seeing new life in a space that hasn't seen much life in years.

A fire laid waste to the former business that resided in the space shown above back in 2015. Since that fire, this building has just sat, ready for the next step in life.

If the area looks familiar, it should. The former restaurant sat next to the department store, Keans.
