Do you know which neighborhood business has advertised in the TIMES throughout its 50 year history? Did you guess Feinberg Real Estate?
The Times has survived for 50 years, thanks to our generous donors and advertisers.
In the early days, the Paper, as it was then known, was supported by a small group of advertisers, many of whom no longer exist.
We remember such small businesses as Lantern House Restaurant, Bearden Violin Shop and Mrs. Turner’s Flowers on Delmar, the Parkview Food Basket on Skinker, Colonial Rug on Kingsbury (the building now housing Andy Cross’ Art Studio), owned by neighborhood resident Bill Schiller, who later moved the business to Delmar (where Pin Up Bowl now thrives). Dan and Susie Feinberg have been a mainstay of our neighborhood, working against redlining and blockbusting, and supporting our newspaper since the earliest editions in 1970. Blueberry Hill has advertised since Joe Edwards opened his iconic restaurant a few years later.
Another neighborhood resident whose name appears in the first issue: Schoemehl Painting, owned by Vince Schoemehl, Sr.
We have also featured political ads from Roach to Vossmeyer, from Schoemehl to McGuire, Krewson and Navarro. Real Estate Agent Katie Kurtz advertised for many years, as did the Central West End Savings and Loan, an important success in the neighborhood.
A big 50th Anniversary Thank You to all those who have chosen our neighborhood and supported our newspaper through the years, with special shout-out to our current advertisers:
• Joe Edwards for Blueberry Hill, Pin-Up Bowl, Eclipse Restaurant, and Peacock Diner • Karleen Hoerr for Daniel B. Feinberg Real Estate Co. • Rachel Boxdorfer for Berkshire Hathaway • Kingsbury Animal Hospital • Parker’s Table • Weir Concrete Contractor • St. Roch School • Quiet Village Landscaping • Busey Bank • Snarf’s • 28th Ward Democrats
