Like family: Albert Issa chats with frequent customers Stacy Gregg and Gayla Finley during their lunch hour on Wednesday at Albert's Cafe at 627 Cherry Street in the building that was once known as the Chamber of Commerce building. "It has a connection to the campus," said Gregg about the restaurant. "We see people we know from the university when we eat here and the staff is a part of our family."
