Mary’s Music Store re-opens their main floor location
During the Great Flood of 2010 in May, Mary’s Music like most Riverside Drive businesses was under several feet of water.

After the flood they received cleanup help from the volunteers, including a group of Soldiers from Fort Campbell, KY.

That courtyard, however, was in the middle of an Israeli maximum-security prison. The charming stranger, Frentzos later learned, was a member of Hamas and the mastermind of a suicide bombing that killed 15 people and wounded 130 in a pizzeria in Jerusalem.
