BUSY BEE CAFE. Owned for years by George Arvanitis, the Busy Bee Cafe finally closed in 1998. Interest in preserving the sign for Dubuque led Terry and Darryl Mozena, Fran and Ellen Henkels and a dozen regular diners at the cafe to join together to purchase the sign for the DUBUQUE COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
