kSpU TH gF <br /> p '�a <br /> d <br /> W vnacF y <br /> 1865 <br /> Office of the Mayor <br /> NEWS RELEASE <br /> July 7, 2011 <br /> 5pm <br /> Opening marks 26-year, one-mile journey for locksmith <br /> Contact: Mikki Dobski, Director of Communications&Special Projects, 235-5855 or 876-1564 <br /> Bill Schalliol, Economic Development Planner, 235-9371 or Tamara Nicholl-Smith, Director of <br /> Downtown Business Recruitment, DTSB, 631-1451 <br /> A joint release of the City of South Bend and Downtown South Bend Inc. <br /> Jack Seifer, owner of Michiana Lock& Key, will officially welcome customers, <br /> neighbors and friends to Michiana Lock& Key's new location at 621 E. Jefferson Blvd. <br /> during a ribbon cutting at 10 a.m. Friday presided over by Mayor Stephen J. Luecke. <br /> (An open house with tours and refreshments follows the 10 a.m. ribbon cutting and <br /> continues until 2 p.m. Friday.) <br /> The downtown locksmith is moving less than one mile from 306 W. Monroe St., in the <br /> shadows of Coveleski Regional Stadium, across the river to the East Bank Village. <br /> Although the physical distance is small, the journey results from a 26-year conversation <br /> between the small business owner and the City of South Bend regarding potential <br /> acquisition of the store since Coveleski Stadium was originally built. <br /> The journey also took an unexpected twist this spring when, as Michiana Lock&Key <br /> prepared for its move, Seiler discovered historically significant architectural details, <br /> including antique terra cotta, beneath what had been a nondescript storefront covered <br /> with wood paneling. <br /> "My first thought was we have to change gears from renovation to restoration," Seiler <br /> said. "We were really excited about it. The first thing we discovered was the transom <br /> windows. Then, when we pulled up the carpet, we found the hardwood maple floor. ... <br /> Those were the two big things that changed it into looking like an old, antique-style <br /> locksmith." <br />
