|---|
| 15 | 15 | | WHEREAS, it is our privilege to recognize those businesses and their proprietors who |
|---|
| 16 | 16 | | not only contribute to the economic well-being of this State but also serve as beacons in their |
|---|
| 17 | 17 | | communities, cultivating an environment of good will and good times; and |
|---|
| 18 | 18 | | WHEREAS, Duke's, a vital commercial member of the bustling Five Points community in |
|---|
| 19 | 19 | | East Nashville, was founded in 2015; ten years later, Duke's still abides by its original no- |
|---|
| 20 | 20 | | nonsense philosophy of serving reasonably priced food and drinks to 206ers and tourists from |
|---|
| 21 | 21 | | Inglewood and Madison alike; and |
|---|
| 22 | 22 | | WHEREAS, Duke's specializes in delicious New York-style deli sandwiches that are |
|---|
| 23 | 23 | | freshly prepared and served fifteen hours each day, from lunch to late, late night; and |
|---|
| 24 | 24 | | WHEREAS, Duke's is owned and operated by local rock 'n' rollers, so unsurprisingly, the |
|---|
| 25 | 25 | | psych, punk, and soul jams the bar pumps out around the clock are some of the best in Music |
|---|
| 26 | 26 | | City; and |
|---|
| 27 | 27 | | WHEREAS, Duke's spins a wide variety of vinyl most every night, courtesy of a revolving |
|---|
| 28 | 28 | | collective of DJs that includes regulars with stellar collections, local musicians, touring bands, |
|---|
| 29 | 29 | | obsessive record collectors, and frequent special guests; and |
|---|
| 30 | 30 | | WHEREAS, on April 19, 2025, Duke's celebrates its tenth anniversary with musicians |
|---|
| 31 | 31 | | performing live, DJs spinning vinyl, and the crowd yelling for more; and |
|---|
| 32 | 32 | | WHEREAS, whether a patron is there for the drinks, food, music, or even the vibe, |
|---|
| 33 | 33 | | Duke's is always a great hang, and this thriving establishment is worthy of our recognition on |
|---|
| 34 | 34 | | this special occasion; now, therefore, |
|---|
| 35 | 35 | | |
|---|
| 36 | 36 | | |
