Back in business once again… I’m your DeWitt neighborhood reporter, Russell Shellberg, showing you neighbors’ excitement for Flapjack’s grand reopening.
Coming to Flapjack’s was like spending time with family for Gary Townsend.
But then the restaurant shut down in June of last year.
“They were open all the way until 3 o’clock. And then when 3 came around, they had to close,” said Townsend.
The restaurant meant a lot more than just a meal for him. He liked to spend time here with his wife.
“My wife and I came here the day before she passed away,” said Townsend.
