Main Street's renaissance is part of Three Oaks' Story, not the beginning

To the Editor: In a recent edition, a feature titled “Froehlich’s Restaurant and Bakery helped bring Three Oaks to life” chronicled the growth of a thriving pastry storefront in Three Oaks. I enjoyed reading it and can only commend Froehlich’s for helping reinvigorate Main Street. Their name speaks for itself, and as a former Three Oaks resident, I am very thankful for stores like Froehlich’s. However, the article’s characterization of Three Oaks in 1993 as “a rundown little village that the locals had all but given up on” and the assertion that “there was nothing here” presents a reality that I, along with many longtime residents, remember quite differently.

American fare, live music, loyal customers keep Phoenix soaring

MISHAWAKA — On Sept. 5, 1872, a fire that began in a barn along the alley of West Second Street in Mishawaka took out 49 buildings in downtown Mishawaka and 82 businesses — totaling $140,000, or the equivalent of $3.4 million today, in damages. The fire marked a somber yet resilient time for the Mishawaka community, and from those ashes rose the Phoenix Building on Main Street and Lincolnway. Constructed in 1873 by John Niles, Henry Niles, Joseph Burt and Buford Holcomb, the three-story brick building served the city as an Opera House, First National Bank of Mishawaka and the Century Club — a social club and community space. Well over a century later, it holds the Phoenix Bar & Grill , an American fare bar with history placed on the walls and a thirst for live music. It also just happens to be one of the only establishments in the Michiana area where a customer can enjoy a cigarette and a sandwich at the same time. From vacant to vibrant Owned by Rich Kelly, the Phoenix building was transformed into the bar it is today in 2001, years after Kelly’s father, Don, bought it. The restaurant officially opened in
