On the Waterfront

An early 1970s view of the Mill Street/Water Street intersection.  Clearly visible is the Anchor Inn at 408 Water Street next to the old library.  Over the years, the restaurant had been known as Alex's on the Water, the Anchor Inn, Fanny Brice's and later The Overtime when local high school basketball coaches Clem Massey and Jack Wippich went into business together around 1975.  And based on its owners' professions and the restaurant's name, it's not hard to imagine the decor in case you've forgotten.
