At the old location it had originally been called "Jazzberry's", but the present owner, Michael O'Leary, changed the name shortly before moving to the present location at East and Scio. The decor inside is basic black with remnants of its previous use as a diner/grill still in evidence, such as the greenhouse tacked onto the front of the building.	+ Until the early 1990s Milestones was a block east on ["East Avenue"], but its original location was torn down to build the courthouse on the corner of East and ["Chestnut Street"].
