Title
Four Generations
Description
Robert Knight represents the fourth generation owner of a restaurant started in 1926 by his great-grandparents Minnie Lee and Inez Jordan. The small restaurant was called "Baby's Lunch Box" after their daughter's nickname "Baby Young." People of "all kinds" came to eat, what is now called, "soul food." In 1959 Mrs. Jordan retired and passed the business to Lessie Moe Marsh ("Baby Young") and the restaurant was renamed "Duck Inn." As times and business improved, other family members became involved, namely Bobbie Dixon ("Lil' Bobby"), who has been working with the business for 34 years. After "Baby Young" retired in 1984, the restaurant was passed on to Ruby Dixon-Pearson, who still manages the business.
With the change of times and a younger clientele, the business in1995 was transformed into a sports bar and named "Sportz Inn." Robert Knight, the new owner, proudly proclaims: "As a family, we keep the dream alive, which I proudly consider a dynasty never to be forgotten."
