FRONT ROYAL – 120-124 East Main Street, which are owned by Vibe Properties, are undergoing some upgrades.  Plans for the buildings include a brew/pub, an outdoor equipment store, the existing Down Home Comfort Bakery and The Vine and Leaf, a wine and tea bar.

Mr. and Mrs. Tim Barnhart, Vibe Properties owners, were well-received by the Front Royal Town Council at a June 12 work session, during which Mayor Hollis Tharpe commented, “This points out that people are putting a vast amount of money into our downtown.”
