Oh, baby, how blue can you get? A musical question, but also something locals may be asking now that we know there's a Blues Bash set for Saturday, August 21st at Old Dog Tavern in downtown Kalamazoo.
As Kalamazoo residents and others, like tourists, begin to return to normal life, a little sprucing up is taking place as part of the welcome back. Bell s Eccentric Cafe has a new mural that is on display on its west side wall, and it s one of the biggest in the city.
This mural project began in mid April and was completed in about a month. It s the creation of Dream Scene Placemaking, with artists Anna Lee Roeder and Erik Vasilauskas. This project was originally planned for March 2020, but was postponed with the pandemic.
What s on the mural is what Bell s says it is passionate about: quality ingredients and innovations, and it also has the Brewers Associations’ Independent Seal, which Bell s says can only be used by breweries who fit the trade group’s definition of small, independent craft brewers .

When the U.S. Department of Labor filed suit against two local restaurant owners for retaliating against employees who won back pay after complaining to federal officials, the case became one of only three of its kind in the past six months in all of New England.
Spokesman Edmund Fitzgerald said “retaliation” lawsuits against employers by the labor department are rare.
According to the lawsuit, Edwin Hernandez was employed as a dishwasher at the Ole Dog Tavern in Stratford when he filed a complaint with the labor department over about $20,000 in owed back wages and overtime.
