Postell’s Newsstand, with Janet Pyle

First Photo: This building was owned by Mr. Lupher at one time, but when I was a boy it was a newsstand, soda shop, and small grocery store run by Luther Postell. “Postell’s Corner” was where we know-it-all teenage boys used to hand out whenever we could. The building is now the very popular, “Bohemia CafĂ©.”

Second Photo: Here’s an inside view of Postell’s, with pretty soda clerk, Janet Pyle, who, with me, graduated from Chesapeake City High School in 1954. I remember jumping up there on the stool to order a cherry coke or milkshake. I think the milkshake was about 15 cents then.
