Dear Neighbors, Welcome to our 32nd letter. (We do love that number—it’s meaningful, at least to us—and it’s LUCKY!) We think you’ll be glad to read about some news and special happenings, and you might like seeing Part II of my Rambling about the 25-year history (now nearly 26!) of this little enterprise. For many reasons, Nancy and I are more grateful than ... Read More

Twenty-five years ago, 25 years seemed like a long time. Now … not so much. Isn’t it interesting how our perception of time changes with time? The quarter-century in the rearview mirror is on our minds because June 5th will mark 25 years since we opened Lucky 32. I ramble on (and on) about that in an insert to this letter. We’re ...

Dear Neighbors, For 15 years, we’ve been penning these letters—30 so far. The biggest news around here is that we are celebrating the 15th anniversary of the opening of the O.Henry Hotel and Green Valley Grill! In an insert to this letter, I ramble on about what we see in the rear view mirror and out of the windshield at these wonderful ...

Dear Neighbors, Chef Leigh Hesling at the market. This, our 29th neighborhood letter, is food focused. What’s more fun than that? We asked Chefs Leigh Hesling (GVG and PWB) and Jay Pierce (L32SK) to jot down some of their thoughts about this culinary season and to share some of their favorite summer recipes. On a separate page, I ramble on about … Read More

Dear Neighbors, This, our 27th neighborhood letter, is full of news and happenings for the holiday season. Normally, I (Dennis) write a rambling piece about something that I think is interesting (and hope you do). All along I’ve promised that if I didn’t have anything that was burning to be told, I wouldn’t ask for your attention. With this letter … Read More

Dear Neighbors, This is our 26th neighborhood letter and the first one where my ramblings were so long that we put them on a separate inserted piece of paper. In this section of the letter you’ll get to learn about a ton of new stuff, some special holiday offerings and get a recipe for a delicious pound cake. On the ... Read More

Dear Neighbors, This economic thing (which we are calling the “Great Recalibration”) is something that grabbed ahold of all of us late last year, and it wouldn’t have been something we’d have ordered, but we are finding some pretty significant silver linings to this cloud. It has caused us to double down on many of our commitments to be of ... Read More

Dear Neighbors, Good news seems rather scarce of late, but we’ve got some that’s really great! Proximity Hotel and Print Works Bistro are the first in the hospitality business to earn the U.S. Green Building Council’s highest rating, Platinum! It is also great news that our focus on local food and extraordinary flavor has resulted in the best tasting food ... Read More

Dear Neighbors, There’s some pretty neat stuff going on with this little outfit! We’re probably most excited that all four restaurants are really hitting their culinary stride. Honestly, with the Green Valley Grill, Lucky 32 and Print Works Bistro within walking distance of each other, we have a tough time deciding where to dine. We love the grape leaf wrapped ... Read More
