Olive Eich marks 40 years at The Shack by the Tracks cafe
Olive Eich, owner of East Side Cafe since 1946, celebrates four decades of business. The shop, nicknamed The Shack by the Tracks, retains its old charm with worn counter, tilted shelves, and dieffenbachia plants as Olive reflects on trains, memories, and community ties while aging gracefully.
