Alex’s Bar – circa late 1940’s. The bar is the white building on the far right. This is now the location of the Elbow Room. In the middle of the photo is a white building (714) with a car next to it in the alley. That would have been Taydch’s Bar which now is Digger Dave’s. Across the street is a building with a Crafts sign on the side. This would be 715 Buffalo which became the Cozy Inn in the 50’s (now torn down).
