With bars and restaurants closed across Michigan, a man built a new place with some open seating in Oak Park and it is a big hit...
James Vreeland opened Maison De Noix a new hot spot with its stale bread/pizza crust and mixed seed trio.
"Every morning we have a rush around 10:30 to 11," Vreeland said. "With the shutdown, there's not a lot of cafe options we're the only game in town."
James said he wanted to do something fun and lighthearted in the middle of the anxiety and uncertainty around the coronavirus pandemic.
"My wife Amanda, she's been feeding the squirrels in our yard for years and we have some regulars,' he said.
James built the tables and chairs out of stuff around the house. It's complete with a hostess stand and a menu.
"We have a mixed seed trio starter, the bread course is stale pizza crust, the entree for the day that we have right is peanuts on the half shell, and we're out, unfortunately, but our dessert was counter-softened apples," James said.
Big Jim took a drive after the show to see the set up!
