Bringing new life to a former local culinary favorite, Michelle Smith and her Desposito’s team opened their doors for an all day ribbon cutting celebration on Saturday, Jan. 6. The longtime Thunderbolt restaurant featured an all afternoon live music lineup, an oyster roast, local vendors and a collection site for Jennifer Graham’s Shelter From the Rain, a local nonprofit dedicated to helping single mothers. Hundreds of supporters and dignitaries networked while they sipped and savored local seafood under a clear and perfect Thunderbolt sky.
