See You at the Fergie

The revitalized and preserved former swanky 1940s Ferguson’s Motel (a.k.a. Franklin Motel) is now a place where locals and visitors can eat, drink, stay, work, shop, and gather. Chef Dan Krohmer’s robata izakaya dining and yakitori bar, Hatsumi, and his contemporary Mexican cantina, La Monjá, along with Mothership Coffee Roasters, are major craving spots. The motel parking lot is now a sunken, multi-level gathering spot surrounded by unique, locally-owned shops and services, such as Myron Hensel tintype photography studio, Neon Cactus vintage clothing and stained glass, Onefortythree handmade furniture and lighting, Mike’s Recovery spa, The Noise Project hair salon, and The Tiny Bloom florist, to name a few.
