Shine Rebirth of a 100 Year Old Building on Main Street
After a three year renovation, Shine at 202 N. Main St. preserves a National Register building by removing 20 paint layers without sandblasting and replacing a central wall with 21 earth-sunken columns. The team reclaimed 1915 trolley track fittings for door hardware, rebuilt with restored pine, and added 73 yards of concrete. The three floor bar complex offers cocktails, wine, and craft beer alongside Cajun and classic dishes. Shine now operates daily 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
