Owner gets up early to keep long-time Fort Dodge cafe going CHAD THOMPSON, The Messenger FacebookTwitterEmail FORT DODGE, Iowa (AP) Ray Brown, of Fort Dodge, starts his day earlier than most people. The 69-year-old owner of Brownie’s Cafe, 1712 Central Ave., gets up and going at about 1:30 a.m. And he doesn’t have to go very far to get to work. “I live in the back,” Brown said. By 3 a.m., he starts baking the cinnamon rolls and bread that the cafe is known for. Not too long after that the first customer arrives. “My first customer is usually around 3 a.m.,” Brown said. “And he’s 92 years old.”
