DAVIDSON COUNTY — A Lexington restaurant has built a brick oven to start turning out Neapolitan pizzas and revamped its entire menu; a 63-acre tract in Linwood grabs a multimillion-dollar
The Dispatch
Coffee lover Abe McMillion spent more than 20 years working late hours as a U.S. Marine and Thomasville Police officer, which resulted in him drinking more than his fair share of what he terms just awful coffee.
All those years of sometimes having to drink brown sludge from an MRE packet or grabbing whatever was available and labeled coffee at a convenience store at 3 a.m. while he worked third shift as a police officer, often had him dreaming of a better brew.
The central Davidson area resident put those dreams into action this year when he began Honest Abe Coffee Co., selling light, medium and dark roasted options. He sells the 12-ounce bags of coffee on his website at www.honestabecoffeeco.com and has a Facebook page. Each bag costs $13.50 plus shipping.

Peanut sauce, cilantro, siracha sauce and roasted pistachios aren t your typical pizza toppings, and that s A-OK with the owners of the newest pizza place in Lexington.
Tyler Prevatte, owner of Perfect Blend Coffee House, and Brent Moore, owner of Goose and the Monkey Brew House, along with their respective spouses, have teamed up to open Pour Folk Pizza. Parked next to the brew house on South Railroad Street in the Historic Depot District, the two-man staffed small, silver trailer began cranking out big flavors on Monday. This is a very different flavor palette, Prevatte said Friday as he prepared to train the staff on how to make the 10 different types of artisan pizzas on the menu. This isn t Dominos or Papa John s. We want to be different and offer Lexington something new.
