Wettest Block in Lawrence Described as Food and Drink Hub
A desolate description details a Lawrence block where ten storefronts focus on food and drink from Sixth Street southward to Massachusetts, including establishments such as Midge Ridge, Hatfield’s, Market Cafe, Boston, City Drug Store, DeLuxe Cafe, Kahn’s Milk Depot, Gueather’s Grocery, Busy Bee, and Dick Bros. The passage notes utilities and luxuries like electric juice and champagne colors, arguing more than half the block is “wet.”
