A view of the Coffee Shoppe sometime during the 1920's it is assumed.

A view from left to right - theatre; last Hansen's; Lakeview tavern; bowling alley; area of Coffee shop

The building at the extreme right is the Coffee Shoppe building which appears to be a lot larger building in this picture. This would indicate that a portion of it was either torn down - or that it had burned down and was re-built at a later date.

Others from the left to right as may would remember them are - the theater, Hansens, Lakeview Tavern and the bowling alley; which resembles the size of the buildings during the 1960's, 1970's, 1980's but the appearance drastically changed this photo is said to be c. 1922.

Could this be the locations of F..G. Solomon's, as it was located somewhere on Lakeshore Dr. during the 1920's. and has been proven to be fact by:

622 Lakeshore Dr. - "S" In 1924 no street/postal numbers were assigned on the Sanborn Map but on the 1937 map the street/postal numbers appeared. Many still did not use the street/postal numbers in their advertising etc. untill the late 1950's they hung on to the reference in relation of location from the depot.
