A bright spot is Aiello's Pizzeria, an eatery planned at 1318 Niedringhaus Ave. It's expected to open next month.
Owner Tony Aiello says he wants to see downtown thrive once more. He wants to be part of the effort.
"When I was a kid, this was hopping down here," he said. "Over the years, everything went to the other part of town and it got kind of run down. Hopefully we can revive it."
Best of luck to him and all of his efforts. It is great to see such enthusiasm come to the downtown area. But this name sounds so familiar..........does anyone know him?
Whatever you do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius and power and magic in it. ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
