(Monday, July 29, 2013) Workmen are seen installing the signs
for the new Dunn's "Resto-Bar-Deli" which will occupy the former Chez Georges Restaurant, which operated

Rockland's newest business
Wine Bottega
is now open. After a succesful run at their Orleans location (Tenth Line and Innes,
near Farm Boy), owner Al Percival has decided to open another store in the bourgening Rockland area. "We see
a great opportunity for us here," says Percival. "There is no other 'brew your own' operation here, and
many of our Orleans customers come from this community. Now they will not have far to go and we hope to grow our
client base as Rockland grows."
