“I drive fast cars for a living”, Bo Marijanovich states matter-of-factly. 

The 31 year-old entrepreneur isn’t shy about talking about his passions, fast cars being one of them. 

“I’ve always loved unique, classy things. Cars, antiques, art, music, wines. These are the things I enjoy and have a passion for”. 

And Bo is bringing that passion to the Springfield Historic District in the form Déjà vu, a contemporary wine & beer bar / art gallery collaboration. The venue will occupy the same space as the now closed Fusion, and much of the sleek décor and metropolitan ambiance will be familiar to Fusion regulars. 

But make no mistake, Déjà vu will be markedly different than it’s previous incarnation.

Historic Springfield's newest restaurant is now open for business at 1347 Market Street.  Owners (above) Chris Cochran and Yazid Addi are serving the eat-in take-out crowd and offering a variety of sandwiches, wraps, soups, salads, rotisserie chicken, sides and Javarama coffee.  Xtreme Flavor also provides free wi-fi.

"We see the potential of the historic area." said Chris.  "We're very open to the neighborhood and its possibilities."  In addition to the restaurant location Xtreme Flavor will also be utilizing the adjoining space in the brick building on the corner of 4th and Market as a banquet hall and are considering offering neighborhood events such as movie nights.

City Kidz Ice Cream Cafe isn't your typical lunch spot on Saturday afternoons.  Sure you'll find one of Springfield's newest restaurants at the corner of 3rd and Main full of children and teens but most of them won't be gorging on the delicious ice cream sweets served up by founders and Springfield residents Pastor Clinton Bush and his wife Sonya.  Instead the youth inside will be playing board games, engaging in workshops on credit, financing or most recently listening to Mayor John Peyton discuss return on investment and the differences between the business of running a city and a private enterprise.
