(Matthew N. Wells | The Daily World)
                                On Wednesday, June 22, 2022, Shelly Dayton, owner of Simpson Avenue Grill and Lounge, sits with her two “coffee guys,” Louie Grant, left, and Al Dick. Grant said he goes to Simpson Avenue Grill every day of the week, and he’ll miss the place when it closes on Sunday, June 26. The two customers are emblematic of what Dayton will miss most, the customers she’s had that are like family to her.
