Besides all of his business ventures, Lou was responsible for starting up Tee Ball in Lee, directed the very first Lee Sale-a-bration Days event which is now Lee Founders Weekend, and sponsored the very first Lee High School house-building program.
“I’ve worked 37 years as a chef (28 of them at Castle Street), which is the equivalent of 60 regular human work years…. I want to reinvent myself while I am still young enough to do so.”
--- Castle Street Café owner Michael Ballon
