Jacksonville
A surviving building becomes a place to meet.
Dedicated town story
At Jacksonville’s Wine Lounge, a story about a building surviving a fire becomes an account of people meeting at the bar. Tasting rooms link downtown with Applegate wine country; music and seasonal gatherings keep the rooms in use. The streets hold history, but the encounters inside give it a present tense.
