As a 3-year-old boy, Kevin McIntyre toddled into the Adams Barber Shop with his father for his very first haircut. Since then, the now 48-year-old man has made a routine of heading to the same business for a cut and occasional shave. “I like Jimmy (Adams), and it’s always been good people,” McIntyre said.
