Good morning, Kenosha.

Two Kenosha businesses hit by fires are slowly rebuilding — The Coffee Pot diner, which was damaged over a year ago, plans to fully reopen in January after a complicated restoration, and Elsie Mae's Pies and Pints will soon begin demolishing its burned building to clear the way for a temporary structure as its owner requested a short-term beer and liquor license extension. The Kenosha License and Permit Committee recommended both extensions with some adjustments.
