A couple who has become the voice of the Charlotte Hornets said they are opening new opportunities for people in Gastonia, and they are doing it in honor of a child who died in a car crash.
Keepsake Brewery in Gastonia wants to fill gap in local craft-beer scene. Here’s how:
Local media personalities DJ Flyty and his wife, Jacinda, will have a grand opening Sunday on Main Avenue that will be a place for stylists, barbers, and even artists in 27 individual suites.
The building is named Christian Jacobs after his son, who died in a crash when he was 19 years old.
“There’s a void,” Flyty said. “Now, walking into this place, I feel like I got a piece of my son back.”
The couple spent years looking for a perfect place for a retirement investment.
“I want to say Gastonia chose us,” said Jacinda “There’s so many new businesses coming into this area.”
Their partner, Preston Wilson, said passion projects, such as this, are driving development in Gastonia.
Wilson has been credited with helping build interests in Belmont.
