Several Mid-City businesses positively impact the culture, quality of life and appearance of the neighborhood, and two such organizations were called into the spotlight.

The Greater Mid-City Business Association held its annual award luncheon Tuesday to honor local businesses that improve, embrace and impact Mid-City. This year’s gala featured a new award that recognizes a single business owner, as well as an award for the “Business of the Year.”

Jay Nix, owner of Parkway Bakery and Tavern, took home that Person of the Year trophy.

“I didn’t know whether to stand up or fall out of my chair,” Nix said. “It’s just so special to me.”
