The Frannie & Joe Story
Fran & Joe Meehan decided to "go steady" across the street from our storefront at Johnson's Restaurant (now Basil 1791) in 1951. They fell in love and were married 2 years later. Fran & Joe spent their 70 years of marriage living, loving, traveling, business owning, and growing their family from 2 to 61.
