Swan Street Under Springs Blue Skies, The Burg
Swan Street Under Springs Blue Skies, The Burg And who would not want to go back to the old Burg days and walk down Swan Street on the way somewhere. Click this picture and fill your screen with Swan Street in the Burg. God Bless The Ole Burg:)
There was a wonderful bar with a great and grand wood carved, ornate ... heck you were sipping a Bud and had the feeling you were at the altar of some church.
Barkeep .... Vito ... who doubled repairing pocket watches?
Come on Mack ... you gotta' do one on Count Felix. I forget the location but it was, was, near the ??
Mack, it's strange to see Swan Street without the paved bricks. I see Whittaker Ave. is one way, like so many other Burg Streets. You can see the large views of Immaculate Conception in the background. It's another nice shot of the Burg. You're doing great.
Skip. type in 801 Anderson for a post and reader comments on Count Felix Bar:)
Ralph. Whittaker is one way past Swan, its 2 way before that.. our quirkly Burg streets. Thanks for the nice words about the picture Ralph, I thought it came out nice too:)
JoeB you are correct Count Felix was 801 Anderson (right around the corner from our house on Liberty. I see the bricks on Swan too:)

ReplyDeleteI believe Count Felix's bar was located in the 800 Block of Anderson Street.

ReplyDeleteIf you look closely at the pot hole, I think you can see the bricks under the asphalt.
There was a gas station there called Fabian's Gulf back when. Looks like it's still operating on that spot, but without the Gulf sign I remember.
