The Traveling Goat is a neighborhood bar brought to life by Steve and Tina Nicoles. After many years in the hospitality industry and working for a large hotel chain, the husband-andwife team decided to branch out on their own. They had been dreaming of running their own restaurant for over a decade. Like so many people in the hospitality industry, the Nicoles had always dreamed of opening their own place. With all of the uncertainty of the pandemic and an eventual layoff, they decided it was finally the right time. Last week, Uptown officially welcomed The Traveling Goat to the neighborhood. Steve and Tina can be found cooking and mixing

Recognizing a job well done
Members of two clubs in Magnolia shared good will and banter this past week when Walt Zierman encountered Carleton Park Garden Club members. Zierman, a member of the Magnolia Rotary, was walking his dog when he saw the women straightening the median near Key Bank in the Village. Zierman joked that when they were done, they could head to his house and spruce up his property. They chatted for a while and Zierman finished walking his dog. Later in the afternoon, he ran into the ladies again when they had moved to the area by the baseball fields and the red sculptures. Zierman said he asked them if they were ready for some liniment ... or gin. One member told him that they needed that now more than ever. On his errands, Zierman picked up a bottle of gin and presented it to the garden club members on behalf of the Magnolia Rotary Club. Pictured are Kathy Carr, Walt Zierman, Gretchen Taylor and Jean Birkland. The Magnolia Rotary is looking for new members. It currently meets at 5 p.m. the first and third Thursdays of the month via Zoom. Go to http://magnoliarotary.org/ for more information about Magnolia Rotary.
