Locally Grown has a story posted by RepJ reporter Bonnie Obremski titled Nationwide project soliciting participation from Northfield youth.

A Minnesota-based non-profit is spending the next few months partnering children in New York City, Washington D.C., and Northfield with children in Iraq in an effort to build closer ties between the nations.

“We thought about Minneapolis, but decided on Northfield,” said Pam Middleton, executive director of War Kids Relief, which is a program of the Children’s Culture Connection non-profit.

… Examples of the artwork and writing of the participating Iraqi children are hanging in the James Gang Hideaway Coffeehouse and Winebar on Division Street.

Ownership change for James Gang Coffeehouse and Eatery

Joan Spaulding — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 03:10:49 +0000

Jim and I have sold the James Gang Coffeehouse and are going to focus our time on enhancing The HideAway Coffeehouse and Wine Bar. This is a lifestyle choice as I am trying to re-gain my health while dealing with Fibromyalgia. I’m hoping to restore my energy so I can enjoy our six kids and all of their activities. We look forward to seeing all of our customers at our downtown Northfield location for either a cup of coffee or a glass of wine! Thank you so much for 4 years of success at the James Gang.
