Beale Street Barbeque

Michael Quigg is hoping a few more restaurants will locate down the block from his Augusta business. This wouldn't be all that unusual except that the West Bath resident is a restaurateur himself and is thus essentially hoping for some competition for his place, Beale Street Barbeque. But Quigg, who grew up in Augusta, thinks more eateries will mean more people coming to the once moribund downtown, and that increased traffic will ultimately help everyone and make the state's capital an appealing destination.
