Did you know?
Did you know... where this business was located? This is the lounge in the Town Pump. The Pump was located inside the Hotel Pattee. I remember the blond furniture and 50s décor that was also part of the restaurant as well. Later the Hotel Pattee became the Escadrille Inn with a World War One décor. I tended bar at the Escadrille for a while, when Perry was home to many bars and taverns. Where did you go on a Friday or Saturday night?
Next week...
