Malcolm, you remember those stores right behind the Puritythat had small windows sidewalk tall that you could look in. they had booths like you find in Diners, maybe they were a Café, Grill, Diner, etc.

freddie hassler

is he the one that died in that house and wasn't found until days later?

freddie hassler

Jim, we would drink the Blue at the Purity Café, but I'm sure he would bag it for the road, and they had some great Burgers and Hot Dog's too

freddie hassler

Purity Café could sell Beer after 12>00
for some reason and the Hub Grill couldn't so when
the Hub closed at 11:45 we would go there for another Blue

freddie hassler
