DIX Closes

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there.

I am a thousand smokey winds that blow.
I am the million suds that overflow.

I am the moonlight
On the ripened grain.
I am the gentle Autumn’s rain.

When you awaken in the afternoon rush,
I am the swift uplifting push
of hungry delight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there.
I did not die.
My Spirit is still alive…

They’re coming back. Just another Mark James Group renovating after the millionth pint served.

They had some great beer and some awesome seasonals… although for “BBQ” eats… one of the worst
