Adam's Cafe

The Adams Cafe and Bar was next to Safeway on east 3rd. There is an interior photo here dated about mid 1935, and an exterior photo with cars of that vintage.
And there is a photo of a 1937 Adams Cafe calendar. From a personal recollection, it was opend by Alice and Sidney Adams mid 1930's That being depression times, and also that prohibition ended in 1933, then a mid 1930's seems likely.
There is a clipping from 1957 with the building still being Adams. Then there is a 1958 clipping where the building was the Texan.
The 1960 phone book shows it as Venezios Texan. Then there is a 1962 clipping that lists Pat and Sam Venezio as owners.
In 1973, Mike, Tom, and Margie are listed as owners in a news clip. There is a 1973 photo with Floyd Leuallen in the window.
At a much later date, the building was the original Shooters.
