Of course, the Pepin House's re-emergence from the catastrophic Rey Espinoza Error (is Sister Hicks still with us, or has she joined Kim Il Sung?) is cause for satisfaction. Kudos to Ron Smith for his investment, and welcome.
It's just too bad that One Southern Indiana got dragged into it. What a profound buzz kill. Here's the way Morris's sentence (see below) should have been written:
“This is something we can all be proud of and celebrate,” said Wendy Dant Chesser, president and CEO of One Southern Indiana, who promptly issued Smith a membership invoice for $30,000 to finance River Ridge fluffery.
You may call me a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.
Hail, Pepin!
New Albany’s restored crown jewel: Pepin House open for business, by Chris Morris (News and Tribune)
An important piece of New Albany’s history has been given new life.
The Pepin Mansion, located at 1003 E. Main St., was constructed in 1851 and is an example of Italian Villa architecture. After sitting dormant and in disrepair for years, Louisville businessman Ron Smith had an idea after touring the home. It’s taken five years, but that idea resulted in the historic property being transformed into a bed and breakfast, retreat center, and wedding and reception hall ...
... The mansion has been opened since March, but Thursday afternoon One Southern Indiana held a ribbon cutting and open house at the facility ...
... Those in attendance Thursday were impressed with the final result.
“This is something we can all be proud of and celebrate,” said Wendy Dant Chesser, president and CEO of One Southern Indiana.
