It was a rainy, chilly Sunday night when I sat down in a striped booth with Bill Colgan at his Grasslands Café in Lakeville next to the post office.

Behind the counter is the petite dynamo, Bianka Langner Griggs, who manages every aspect of the store’s rooms of colorful merchandise. Most days you can find Bianka helping customers, answering the phone, and rearranging inventory. 

On a weekday morning Lann Rubin, the founder of the North East Ford Dealership, explained his 33-year automotive career, from working as a night time manager while still in high school to owning, operating, and building the Ford dealership in the Town of North East on Route 44.

Sarah Khoshaba never meant to become a restaurateur.
