 View Larger Image | CAPTION: West Mayfield Lounge, located on 37th St. Memories: Paul Thompson That place was open on Aug 10, 1984. I remember because I got into a bad car wreck (DUI) that day. When I was released from the hospital on Aug 14, 1984, it was closed. Jeanine Bathgate Then it became a convenience store. It was nice having it there when I'd need a gallon of milk or eggs. Carla Weatherly I worked there 1 year, then Sonny and Carl bought it. It really was terrible! I never left behind bar and it was a huge bar. Always had my back up. Bernadette Lindsay I can't believe Sonny and Busser are both gone. Oh the stories I remember from the lounge! Bobbi J Ceriani Ciotti How about the time Sonny shot the pinball machine?!!!! Guess he wasn’t winning, LOL. Ollie Enfrie A friend lived upstairs in the early 70s. Used to be go-go girls there too. Think it used to be named The Manor. | DATE: c. 1980s | KEYWORDS: business bar | SOURCE: Location: Facebook Original: Paul Thompson. |
