Kristina Garrison, a Ukrainian-raised San Franciscan turned globetrotting mom of two, and her classically trained chef husband David Garrison have just soft-opened Grub Smokehouse in a coworking-space kitchen in Youngsville/Wake Forest, NC—their non-traditional barbecue haven born from a hole-in-the-wall California burger joint shut by COVID, four-and-a-half years of culinary inspiration across Europe and Israel, and a ChatGPT-assisted leap to the Tar Heel State with five suitcases and zero local ties. In week three of word-of-mouth operations, they're smoking everything in-house (12-day-brined pastrami, scratch sauces, seasonal salads, daily sweet-potato cinnamon rolls) on a shoestring DIY buildout, balancing 14-hour grinds with yoga, cold plunges, and an industry discount while betting that perfect-bite flavor symphonies and organic influencer meals will turn curious locals into loyal regulars in a growing melting-pot market.10 Key Takeaways Non-traditional BBQ = perfect-bite melody: Every sandwich/sSant is engineered for balanced flavor layers—smoky meats, house pickles, scratch sauces, seasonal produce—so one bite sings like a song.  No shortcuts, no cans: Zero preservatives, no can opener in the kitchen; everything brined, smoked, pickled, or baked fresh daily (pastrami alone: 12-day brine → smoke → steam).  Tiny menu, massive focus: Just 5 sandwiches, a few salads, 2 desserts—narrow to nail execution and avoid waste (day-old bread becomes bread pudding).  Global palate, local roots: Four-plus years in Croatia, Italy, Spain, Israel re-inspired Kristina & David Garrison; now sourcing from NC farmers and a local bakery to keep it fresh and community-supported.  DIY on a dime: Vacant coworking kitchen → smoker install + handmade wallpaper/paint; low overhead lets labor-intensive quality shine despite inflation squeezes.  Organic growth > paid hype: Soft-open via word-of-mouth + free meals for genuine local foodies/influencers; authenticity trumps bots or fake reviews.  Balance is the new hustle: Yoga, breathwork, sauna, cold plunges replace the old “work hard, party hard” chef culture—keeps Kristina & David Garrison fit and sustainable long-term.  Know your niche, own your price: Slightly higher tabs justified by love and prep; not for everyone, but perfect for foodies who crave preservative-free craftsmanship.  First year = grind with savings: Expect 12–14-hour days, weight loss, dual jobs; success demands 1-year runway and DNA-level passion (they almost opened a second CA spot pre-COVID).  Community heartbeat: Industry discount + rising-tide networking; independent restaurants remain essential third places for real human connection in a screen-heavy world.

Darla struggles to understand Prosper, a mysteriously damaged man whose seemingly innocent words may hold devastating power. As she divides her time between her love for Maela and her duty to watch over this enigmatic man, disturbing questions emerge about his true nature. Could his vacant-eyed observations about 'sad stones' and casual encounters be more than the ramblings of a broken mind? When Prosper speaks of the ancient Wizards with unexpected clarity, Darla must confront the possibility that his apparent madness masks something far more dangerous—and perhaps intentional.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-thieves-guild--6141933/support.Some secrets are worth dying for.

In this episode, Brian Hamrick sits down with Brad Andrus, commercial real estate investor, broker, and developer behind the ambitious restoration of the Fine Arts Theater in Denton, Texas.

Why city and community partnerships are essential in adaptive reuse projects. How to balance profitability with legacy-minded investing.

Whether you're passionate about historic preservation, curious about adaptive reuse, or an investor exploring creative real estate strategies, this conversation reveals the opportunities—and the pitfalls—of breathing new life into old buildings.

Real Estate Nightmares As Halloween approaches, we're embracing the spooky spirit here at Boston Connect Real Estate but not with ghosts or goblins. This week's episode of Talk Real Estate Roundtable turned the spotlight on something far scarier: real estate nightmares. From flooded basements to unexpected squatters, these are the kinds of stories every agent dreads but learns from. Co-hosts Melissa Wallace and Tracy Grady shared a few chilling tales from the South Shore real estate scene  and more importantly, how to prevent them from happening again. When Copper Theft Turns into a Flood Tracy recalled a transaction that started off smoothly until a call from the property caretaker brought nightmare news. The vacant home had been broken into, and thieves stole the copper piping, leaving the water running. When Tracy arrived, the basement had five feet of standing water. The good news? The buyers, who were planning a flip, stayed the course but it was a costly and chaotic cleanup. Lesson learned: If a property is vacant, secure it and shut off the water. Even better, have it professionally winterized to prevent damage and reduce risk. Vacant homes are vulnerable, and thieves often target listings that appear unoccupied. The Squatter on the Roof Another real estate horror story came from one of Boston Connect's agents, who went to show a foreclosed home  only to discover a squatter barricaded inside a bedroom. When she arrived with her client, the man climbed out the window and hid on the roof. Thankfully, she didn't enter the home alone and contacted the police immediately. Lesson learned: Realtor safety should always come first. If you're showing a vacant or foreclosed property, always: Wait for your client before entering. Let someone know where you are and when you'll be done. Be aware of your exits and surroundings. Realtors often announce open house times publicly making it essential to take precautions and, whenever possible, partner with another agent during showings. When Divorces Spill into Real Estate Not every nightmare is about crime or damage some are about emotionally charged transactions. Melissa and Tracy discussed cases where sellers going through divorce left the home in disarray just before closing, forcing the agent to clean, coordinate item removals, and mediate between two parties who couldn't communicate directly. Lesson learned: Divorce sales require clear, equal communication with both parties ideally in writing and copied to everyone involved. The agent's role is to stay neutral, professional, and focused on ensuring both clients feel informed and represented fairly. A Lighthearted Note: Halloween Fun at Boston Connect Amid the spooky stories, Melissa also reminded listeners about Boston Connect's annual Halloween contests: Jack-o'-Lantern Contest: Submit your best carved pumpkin (adult and kids' categories). Pet Costume Contest: Open to all pets from dogs to turtles! Participants can send entries to administration@bostonconnect.com or to their Boston Connect agent. Prizes include gift cards and pet goodie baskets, with winners voted for on Facebook. It's one of our favorite seasonal traditions a reminder that even when real estate gets scary, there's always fun to be had in our community. Final Thoughts: Every Nightmare Has a Lesson As Tracy put it best: “You think you've seen the worst transaction of your life… and then something else comes along.” Every challenge whether it's a burst pipe, a safety scare, or a difficult closing teaches valuable lessons. At Boston Connect Real Estate, our agents don't just help clients buy and sell homes; we help them navigate the unexpected with professionalism, composure, and experience. Because even in real estate, every nightmare can lead to a better ending.

With office vacancies soaring, the idea of converting commercial buildings into housing sounds like a win-win—but is it feasible?

While popular in theory, conversions often face major headwinds—especially in cities like Portland where planning code changes lag market needs. Developers exploring adaptive reuse or value-add multifamily opportunities will find this discussion a must-watch primer on turning empty square footage into livable density.
