I just happened to overhear this on the news, and it helped me learn a little more about the history of the august Sarah Lou Cafe that I had photographed two summers ago. James Owens, Jr. had owned and operated the restaurant for thirty years. Sadly the storefront now sits empty; perhaps one day someone will resurrect Jimmy and his legacy. The Preservation Research Office reports that the building has suffered from years of abandonment.

This is one my favorite metal and neon signs in the entire city!
