Looks like the long defunct tavern and cafe storefronts have been recently repainted. Is new life coming these business locations?
Both of these places have had many different names over the years. At some point in the 1980s (I think) the wall between these businesses was opened up and it became a restaurant/tavern. My favorite incarnation was back in the 1970s when the McCleary Bakery occupied the cafe portion. My earliest memory of the restaurant was when it was known as Billie's Cafe, run by Billie Stilwell. It had a big horseshoe counter with booths along the east wall if my memory is working correctly.

This blog has been mostly retired but I will still check the comments for moderation occasionally on slow days. Think twice, post once. I place a high value on civility and publish them, or not, accordingly. Some might call this censorship. I call it having editorial standards. We both would be right.
