BROWNSVILLE: Where Dreams Can Come True

Every new business begins with a dream: Artist J. Bolware Jones, a gallery; Professor Frederick Lapisardi, a performing arts center that serves as a Tri-State cultural destination; Jeffrey Wilhelm and Robert Kovach, an upscale dining and tavern venue. Their dreams are opening new doors in the Brownsville Business District, where a two-day event allows you to hear how they achieved their goals and their visions for the future, "dine and shop" at new and existing businesses … and see if Brownsville's history-making past can reshape your future by making your dream come true too.
