This week, Beth and Dennis are joined by Jon, co-owner of the Lantern Coffee Bar & Lounge in the Heartside District. Jon shares his experience working in close proximity to people experiencing homelessness in the Heartside area and discusses how he and his staff show empathy to each person who enters their doors, regardless of who they are. The Lantern is known to be a warm, welcoming beacon of hope and light to those experiencing homelessness. Our guests know that when they're in need, Jon and his staff are there to offer a smile, a friendly conversation and a place to warm up. "The Lantern is meant to be in this part of town...the Heartside needs us and we need the Heartside too."
