Bernadette's Crystal Gardens is more than three years in the making, and the West family is almost ready to open the doors. We take an exclusive tour of the crystal-themed bar on Market Square and check out behind the scenes at Babalu, which is reopening on Gay Street under the same ownership as the neighboring Maple Hall. We share big plans for what's going in the Kress building and Kern's Bakery. Plus, how now-retired arena manager Tim Reese made an impact on Thompson-Boling Arena since its opening in 1987.
