Wrights front counter

Abbey and Levi Wright stand in front of the counter of My Place Bar and Grill in Duncan. The couple, upon seeing how the business's closing a while ago affected the town, decided to bring it back to life.

Levi Wright prepares to pour a glass of beer at My Place Bar and Grill. The bar, itself, has been in town since the 1910s and very little has changed in that time. When the Wrights bought it, they wanted to make sure they kept things they way they always were.
