Serving as a welcoming stage for innovation and experimentation – while efforts to maintain a local, small-town atmosphere sustained and supported significant economic BY BARB HUGHES [email protected] growth – both neighbors and business owners believe the district is well positioned to rebound as quarantine restrictions and disruptions wind down. Following are a few old favorites and some new faces I visited just before the holidays, during this most unusual and challenging year. LOVEJOY’S TEA ROOM Lovejoy’s Tea Room is a cozy, quirky place filled with mismatched china and unpretentious furniture. Handmade tea cozies and an eclectic assortment of collectibles create a great environment. A dream come true for owner and operator Brendon Constans, the cafe opened in Concordia during March of 2019. I had the opportunity to enjoy a pre-COVID date with my husband there, and we chose the Queens Tea, a fancy three-tiered tray, filled with scrumptious delights. The decor was frilly and colorful. I wore a pretty dress, my husband wore a tie, and we had fun playing dress-up for tea. From traditional High Tea and Queens Tea, to salad- centric, healthy or Light-Tea, Lovejoy’s Tea Room has a wonderful selection of tasty tea sandwiches, warm scones, preserves with clotted cream, petit fours and bottomless pots of tea. If you’re looking for pub fare, they’ve got Lentil and Veggie Shepherd’s pie, Sausage Rolls, and soup. Vegan and gluten free options are available. There are many amazing loose-leaf teas to choose from, as well as coffee and fresh squeezed juice. Brendon Constans at Lovejoy’s Tea Room on Killingsworth.

At the end of this month, Nancy Tilton, stylist and owner of Dee’s Golden Door at 4209 N.E. Fremont St. in Beaumont Village, will close the doors of her shop for the last time, one month shy of her 47-year anniversary. Other stylists at the shop are Debbie Alexander and Barbara Godinez. Both have worked with Tilton for 13 years, after coming over from the Hairliner. “I started working at Dee’s in March of 1974,” said Tilton. “I did not have my license yet. I was waiting to take my board exam and my beauty school instructor told me she thought I would work out well at this shop. The owner, Doris McDowell, hired me that day. I cleaned ash trays, poured coffee, swept up hair and ran for everyone’s lunch. I couldn’t do hair for three weeks.” In 1984, Tilton purchased the shop where she had worked for ten years. “Nancy has meant a great deal to our neighborhood and Dee’s has become a real institution,” said Beaumont Business Association President Andy Frazier. “Nancy brings tremendous energy and enthusiasm with her everywhere she goes and to everything she does.
