Recently we learned that a good friend of Tangier Lounge died while serving the US Foreign Service in Ethiopia. Brian was a regular guest at our restaurant where he practiced his language skills and learned about our culture with fellow patrons. We lost a great friend in Brian. He will be deeply missed.

Brian Daniel Adkins Memorial Fund:

Brian’s family asks that in lieu of flowers, contributions be made to the Brian Daniel Adkins Memorial Fund. All of the contributions will be allocated for the private, Catholic school education of Brian’s young nephew, Chase. This was very important to Brian, and is one of many examples of his selflessness. Although he never advertised it, while working for the State Department, he set aside a portion of each paycheck for Chase’s education. His family is grateful for your generosity.

Electronic fund transfers can be made to WesBanco Bank:
Account# 3481505539
Routing # 043400036

Contributions can also be mailed to: 4147 Manassas Ct., Columbus, Ohio 43207. Please make checks out to his parents: Dan and Christine Adkins.

With the winter months quickly approaching I like to warm my body with a soothing glass of Moroccan mint tea, which they prepare with fresh mint – it sure beats Lipton! The staff at Tangier are amazingly friendly and helpful. You’re sure to fall in love with Tangier on the spot!
