Former city manager Bill Nelson was spotted downtown Wednesday having lunch at Wood Fire Italian Trattoria.
Nelson brought some members of his staff in Miamisburg, Ohio, to southwest Michigan to acquaint them with the opportunities the arts afford such communities as Dowagiac, St. Joseph and Holland.
He said they were meeting with Vickie Phillipson of the Downtown Development Authority and Shirley Laylin of Dogwood Fine Arts Festival.
