Photo of the Day

“76 year old Bob Sauter has lived in St. John’s since 1943.  He says that old-timers sometimes still think of Patty’s Home Plate as the “Old Rexall” Sauter said that the drug store had lunch counter popular with local workers in the 40’s and 50’s.  He used to stop by often while he was on his paper route.  Later in life Sauter worked for the post office and then owned a Locksmith shop on Lombard for 20 years before retiring in 1990.”

While look at images for my review of 2009, I found this image taken one day before last year began.  It was taken for an article talking about the history of Patty’s Home Plate Cafe, a St. John’s Landmark.
