I really enjoyed doing a little digging for the 1
23 West Main post, so I decided to do a couple more. Plus, I had fun taking a few photos in my car's side mirror (and frankly, I only have to much to say about McCarthy's). Popular with UK students, the Irish Bar is a great place to go for a Guinness. But I think I would have rather gone to the location in the early 1920s...
According to the
Asa C. Chinn collection, the two addresses (
117 and 119 South Upper) once housed the Walter L. Honaker Fish and Oyster House (119) and D. Addler & Son (117). How I wish we still had a fish and oyster house downtown... [rumor has it a raw bar is coming to
310 W. Short St.] My research ended here - I couldn't discover anything else about either the oyster house or the jeweler. Does anyone know anything??
