| A Catalyst for Economic Revitalization |
Fire House 15 ~ Shops & Restaurant seeks to be a catalyst for economic revitalization in Highland Park. Starting "at home," Fire House 15 Restaurant is operated by Boaz & Ruth graduates and apprentices. In addition, local residents have developed small businesses and have a place to dine and gather.
