Dugout Bar

So, the Dugout Bar was really located at 401 North Commercial in Neenah in the late 1930s.  But Mr. Hart was one of those individuals who wasn't exclusively a Neenah or Menasha guy.  He was born in Menasha and also had had a shoe business there - the Hart Shoe Hospital- located on Chute Street in the earlier part of that decade.  In later years, as he settled into the hospitality trade, he ran the Hart Hotel, a lodging establishment on Commercial Street, across from the C&NW railroad station.  And, as inferred from his business card, he had served in World War I with the Red Arrow Division.  So many of us, over time, crossed lines when it came to Neenah and Menasha that it really became one entity in a lot of ways.  I'm sure it stands that way today as well.
