I suppose Green Man brewing is making huge amounts of cash. Building the huge building and now buying this. They must be making millions some how. I had no idea their brand was so popular.
Way more green in beer than kale. Duh.
It was a funeral home. While I appreciate your message in that the building was a part of history, not many folks are keenly interested in repurposing a funeral home. That was evidenced by the fact that it languished on the market for at least five years after Gene Ellison moved his office.
It was also a hospital that served the African American community during segregation.
This is just wonderful news. If a business owns its own building, the landlord cannot just double your rent just because you, the business owner, has worked hard and created a good business. You now have control over your own destiny, and there is one less space for a fast food franchise to take over. Well done Green Man, congratulations and am really excited about your expansion.
And don’t forget Green Man’s expansion into Florida! On a roll, indeed!

It makes me sad that “local” black history is being torn down so that we can drink more “local” beer. It’s sad that it wasn’t even being “recognized” in the first place. I am happy for one less “lawyer” though so I guess it all “evens itself out.”
What’s even sadder is your repeated improper use of quotes.
1. While it may occur, nothing in that story said the building would be torn down.
2. Gene Ellison remains an attorney here, just at a different location.
3. Gotta agree that yours was a strange application of quotation marks.
They tore it down.
“One less lawyer…?”
If you are referring to Gene Ellison you are missing the mark– he simply moved from that building to his new offices closer to the courthouse…
Sounds like this Gene is a “good man.” Lots of people know where his office is.
Guess I was referring more to the “Johnnie-Cocarhan-types.”
Quotes let you know where I put the “emphasis.”
While you may not like the outcome of the OJ trial, Johnny Cochran did a hell of a job. As an attorney it is not his job to be the trier of fact (e.g., jury or judge), it is to represent his client. He did his job well.
