Maurice Julian opened a men’s clothing store on Franklin Street in 1942. More than 80 years later, Julian's grandson Bart carries on his namesake and legacy. Mama Dip’s Kitchen, a southern-style restaurant, has been a staple for over 40 years. Spring Council co-owns the restaurant with her siblings. Mildred Council, their mother, passed it down to them.
