 So, we're going to go ahead and get started. I don't want to keep anyone out here longer than we have to. We will have remarks from Councilwoman Tina Herbert, the City of Columbia District 1, and after that we'll have remarks from Councilman Andrew McDowell, City of Columbia Mayor Pro Temp, and then we'll have remarks from Carina and Bernard Jones, owner of Jess Jones and Commissioner Kitchen, and then we'll do the ribbon-cutting photo ops and we'll have some closing remarks. So now I'd like to introduce Councilwoman Tina Herbert. I'm sorry, y'all, but thank you. Despite how slowly I walked up here, I am excited to be here today, I see some personal friends. I am Tina Herbert and I represent District 1, and I'm going to go ahead and give the Joneses the award for beautification because how many of y'all used to come to WingBasket? Because now I came to WingBasket. I used to live right up the street, and we love WingBasket, but they moved up the street and the building was all, well, the building did look good. I can think I can be honest. It was an eyesore and it was unused, and so I am personally grateful to Ms. Jones for coming and investing in our community, and I'm so excited about the project itself, a commercial kitchen, because we have so many people who can cook, but they don't have commercial kitchens, and I don't know about you all, but when people give me stuff that they cooked in their homes, you know, sometimes I'm a little iffy. So this is going to allow not only Ms. Jones to expand, but it's going to allow opportunities for other businesses too. And the last thing I will say, the North, what's probably not the last, the Northman Corridor is probably one of the most important corridors in my district. I care for it very deeply, and I also care for the minority community that surrounds here. It's my community. And so this is also an example of wealth creation, and the fact that we own something on North Main Street as it begins to develop, and y'all need to give, y'all really need to clap because, I mean, we live out here and we lease out here, but we do not own here. And so this is very remarkable what you're doing, and I want y'all to understand the importance of that. I think that is all that I have to say. The food is good. Y'all enjoy, enjoy yourselves. Make sure to come back and support. And that's one thing. So when we start businesses, they don't just need support at the press conference. They need support on a routine basis so that they continue to make money, stay open, and be sustainable. Thank y'all so much. Good afternoon. Thank y'all. We are, look, I'm a person of a lot of words, and then you get on the spotlight and you don't have many words, but it's just looking around and seeing people with different parts of our life and family members and friends and, okay, I'm a crybaby. So just such a blessing to be in a position to be able to have a business, have my husband Bernard with me, my son Bryson, Carter Carson, I have my best friend Makia flew down this morning, and my mother, my cousin Jerry, and so we are just so, we are just so grateful to be in this position, to be able to own a business in this area, to be able to give it back to our communities, and to be able to offer to other food truck owners. We're new to this industry, right, we've only been doing this for a year, and so to be able to be in a position to have our own space to prepare our food, and then offer that opportunity to other food truck owners, bakers, caterers, and the likes, a commissary kitchen is a shared use community space for cooks to come and prepare their food and then take it out to serve it to their vendor or whoever they're serving, right. And so this will not function as a restaurant, but we will offer take out service at times. We will offer an opportunity for other vendors to park on the lot and sell from their food trucks. And so we are just excited about the different things that we can offer in this area to these families, to this community and to different small business owners in Columbia. And so thank you all for coming. And we are just excited. Come enjoy the potatoes. I only baked a little bit because I wanted to have fun with y'all. We got a little music. We got kids 103.1. So I didn't bake the whole lot of potatoes, but we have Chuck E. cheese, Philly cheese steaks and hoagies. They're back there. Wings, Philly cheese steaks, all kinds of food. We have Nori's Icy Cart with Italian ice. We have a priest creations with sweet treats. I got sweet tooth by sea. She has the cake slices. I have flair, rare flames. She has candles and I have auntie's waffles and she sells her own waffle mix. Okay. So you all come out and support the different vendors. And we are very excited about each business owner. So we have some giveaways. I have a certificate for each vendor that is here today. There's one certificate for a raffle, right. So as you all kind of walk around, we're going to give everybody a raffle ticket put into a pot and then there will be giving away raffles throughout the afternoon. Okay. So you all enjoy. Thank you all so much for coming. Um, and we appreciate it. My daughter would love to say something. Say something Thank you. Thank y'all. Okay, we have one more speaker coming up. Council, Councilman. Mayor protein and McDowell is here. You know, this is a sighting time time for this district. We have so many developments happening on this quarter and we're very excited about every small own family operate business that comes on this quarter. Everybody ready? Let me just say a word of thanks to my my fellow colleague Tina Herbert. Where is she? Tina, Hey, you stand out of the sun. Good to see your councilwoman. Let me say a word of thanks to this fabulous establishment. We come today, not only together as a community, but we gather as a family. We gather to pay homage to these who have put this together. Thank you all so very, very much. Hey, young lady. Wow. We are delighted that North Columbia continues to shine. And of course, when North Columbia shines, the city of Columbia shines. And isn't that wonderful to know that in the heartbeat of the city of ours, 400 plus new African American businesses have started. Somebody out of clap their hands and say, that's not a whole lot, but at least the ball is rolling and it's not stopped. So thank you for being here. Sabrina Odom, my friend and my colleague. Thank you so much for being who you are and what you do for this community. Thank you so very, very much. Thank you.
