I
have attached a picture that was taken in the summer
of 1955 of my fiance Durway Jaynes and myself. We were leaving his
place of employment at Butler's Shoe Store on Austin Ave.
I am trying to recall the name of the cafe that was located across
the street and on the corner in the same block. That was where we
shared our first cup of coffee and shared many more for 30 years until
his untimely death in 1986. Can you help me? - With many thanks, Ginger

My husband, a long-time Austinite thinks the café in question may
be the Austin hotel Coffee Shop on the NE corner of 7th and Congress.
Butler’s Shoes was on Congress Ave not Austin Ave. - Jeanell Bolton,
