Artist Renee Phillips’ East Delray
November 9, 2020The Newland Smith Team speaks to “Mr. O.G.”, Brian Rosen about his Delray Beach
In our latest neighborhood blog, The Newland Smith Team caught up with one of our favorite Delray locals, Brian Rosen. When he’s not in the office slinging commercial buildings and shopping centers, Brian can be spotted cruising around town on his golf cart, popping into his favorite “pre-pandemic” watering hole better known as the O.G. , catching tunes at the Arts Garage, or rallying his friends to attend the city’s famed events like the Green Market or Art Walk. He loves Delray Beach as much as we do!
