From the mighty Mississippi to 12th Street’s beam.

Cheers to your friends as you make your stand. 🍻

Dancing and laughter, with nary a care.

The 2024 Business of the Year opened its doors in

The 2024 Business of the Year opened its doors in Quincy’s German Historic District in November 2021 and has been an active participant in downtown Quincy since. The owners have consistently shown their commitment to community engagement. Their focus on supporting their neighbors and Quincy as a whole is evident in everything they do.
They have a vibrant, welcoming storefront and support local artists by showcasing and selling their work, and hosting weekly open mic nights. Selling goods at our farmers market is another way they support both downtown and The District events. If you have attended any event that encourages community, you have seen Bill and Margarita there. Aside from having a great lunch spot, this friendly duo is known for their constant support and cheerleading for other businesses and people. Congratulations, Calftown Coffeehouse!

VALENTINE'S DAY POEM

OUR 💕 VALENTINE'S DAY POEM 😍

In Quincy’s District, where 💕love 💕feels so near,
From Broadway to State, the vibe is clear.
12th Street to the river, hearts are found,
In this charming downtown, love’s all around.

The shops are cozy, the cafés invite,
A stroll down the street feels just right.

In the heart of Quincy, love is in first place.
So on this day, we celebrate with you...
In the District, where more than just Valentine’s Day
