Enter Renee Lewis. This lovely lady and artist extraordinaire grew up in the area. Except she broke away, headed to New York and made a name for herself in the jewelry industry (Google her name). But Renee did not forget her roots, and instead, gave back to her childhood community in a huge way.
Renee saved the oldest brick building in Ohio, which resides smack dab on Lisbon's main route through town and spent 11 years doing whatever it took to make the building spectacular. In the process, Renee created a place for her to call home when in Lisbon; The Courthouse Inn & Restaurant.
Renee's jewels can be viewed in her own space in Barneys New York. Her jewel of a building can be enjoyed any day of the week in Lisbon. I am very fortunate to call her my girlfriend.
Visit the link below to read about Renee; her husband, Michael, and their beautiful gift to our area.
And, by-the-way... I took all the pictures!!
