Caffe Moderne owner’s “Quest” for a Staggerwing shows in her new mural

Caffe Moderne owner Janet Rine is on a “Quest.”

She is working hard to expand the Old Town restaurant to include a separate room for special events. The highlight of the room is an Art Deco-style mural painted by local artist Steve Murillo, called “The Quest.”     Rine’s goal, after the bills are paid, is eventually to use income from the room to buy a Beech Staggerwing like the one depicted in the mural.  “I want that Staggerwing,” Rine said.  In fact, she is calling the entire room the Quest Space. “This has been a quest for me to be able to afford an airplane.” The Staggerwing is one of eight airplanes depicted in the mural.

The room should be open in a couple of weeks.
