Historic Photos of North Chesapeake
City, part 16
The catch of the day, with Wilson Reynolds, Frank
Bristow, and John Schaefer. These rock fish would make great dinners in the old
Schaefer’s Restaurant, circa 1959.
Hatties Inn, now the site of Harold Reynolds’ property
– Biddle Street Extension. Hatties Inn had one of the first TV sets on the
North Side. My girlfriend, Dolores Carlton, still talks about watching Arthur Godfrey
while eating lunch there with her mom and dad. Note members of the Van den
Heuvel family posing in the foreground, circa 1948.
Nola’s Bar, north of the firehouse on the east side of
Lock Street, with Nola Knotts posing. Nola’s husband, George Knotts, worked for
the Corps of Engineers and operated the lift bridges on the canal in the 1930s.
I think the building still stands. I’ve never tasted Arrow beer; have you? The
bar was very popular in the 1940s, photo circa 1941.
