Town and Country Kafe Grand Opening

Amy Delfin-Torres can't contain her excitement during the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the grand opening of Town and Country Kafe on March 2. About 50-60 customers and staff joined owners Josh Robayo, Amy Delfin-Torres and Willie Torres outside to participate in the ceremony, which was hosted by the Chamber of Commerce. Torres took a second to thank those in attendance. "Without you, there's nothing," he said. (Sarah Myers/The Oglethorpe Echo)
