along with a “Dine-In” to remind people why King House has been around for so many years and, hopefully, keep it around for many more.
#SaveKingHouse is the battle cry and more than 150 people have made plans to dine at the King House on Monday, June 24th while another 1,000+ people are following the event page to share memories and lend support.
