The Historic Stone Hotel will soon be a coffee shop.
Columbus developer Chris Chain filed a building permit for a new coffee shop at 224 Fifth St. S.
According to Building Official Kenneth Wiegel, Chain filed the permits. The Stone Hotel, built in 1905, underwent complete historic restoration and is now named The Stone.
In addition to the new coffee shop, Wiegel also confirmed Chain filed a permit for a cigar lounge on the 400 block of Third Avenue South.
Wiegel said he has not created an address number for the incoming lounge yet.
The Dispatch could not reach Chain by presstime, but keep an eye out for more information on the two new additions coming soon!
Moving over to Starkville, the Oktibbeha County Co-Op on Pollard Road is hosting “Check-R-Board Days” 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday.
The event offers hands-on experience with lambs, chickens, pigs, rabbits, ducks, and turkeys, free pony rides, and specialists from Mississippi State’s dairy, wildlife, entomology, poultry and bee departments.
Hitting that third point of the Golden Triangle, Meagan O’Nan’s Event Center, 3229 E. Church Hill Road, opened on Friday.
O’Nan’s event center offers an office and training space for O’Nan’s various speaking engagements and competitions. O’Nan is a competitive and motivational speaker, but with a new office space she’s hoping to invest in the community and offer various events locally.
“When I do bring in my clients in town, I’m going to be holding events in the community so that my clients have the chance to speak to a live audience and the community has a chance to hear this awesome speaker give a speech,” O’Nan said.
The center will also be available for professional speakers, trainers and organizations to rent for workshops, training and gatherings.
I’d be remiss if I didn’t wish everyone a Happy Halloween! I hope your holiday is filled with various more treats than tricks. See y’all next week!
