Construction is underway on Stone Cottage, the 1894 Falls Cottage overlooking Reedy River Falls. Owners of Passerelle Bistro will open a new restaurant and small event space featuring grab-and-go sandwiches, soups, and salads, with an opening planned for this summer.

We’re coming to our audience with a mystery found in the cottage walls. This art was found during demolition, and we’d love to know the story behind it.

I know this is a long shot, but we do have 70,000 of you reading this newsletter who may recognize the art and point us toward the mystery artist. You know where to find me.
