  • Episode 23 - Parkview Lives!!! Kathy's Back!!! Live Music from Action Lady!
    Jun 19 2024

    For our one year anniversary we welcome the powerful, patient and beloved owner of Parkview Tavern, Kathy. She shares with us the good news that the tavern's 30 years in business has been extended (at least for a bit). She describes the real power of compromise and exhibits a sense of magnanimity that we all should strive for. There are stories of how her regulars ended up with their own engraved bar stools, how a car once plowed into the front of Parkview on what could of been a Saints Sunday, and how scuba diving takes the edge off...unless there are sharks!!!
