The day when two sisters sat down at The Brothers Table
On a hot May afternoon last week, three people with family ties to the old Jerry s Bar in north Moorhead got together to have lunch, check out the 88-year-old building and reminisce. Sisters Cathy Scheibe and Gini Rainey remembered the days when their parents, Helen and Erv Jents, ran a 3.2-beer tavern there. Nicholas Aadland, who co-owns the newest business there, The Brothers Table, with his brother Riley, was on hand to give tours and join in conversations about the location s rich history. 8:15 am, May 27, 2021 ×
