Hoosier Bills Restaurant looks like 213 Monroe Ave, next door to the Bug Jar.
lots of cool photos thanks for sharing.
Yes Casey. That’s the spot. And for a few minutes in the seventies there was a place called the Mozart Cafe where I cooked. The owners were a gay couple and one was the first diagnosed AIDS case in Rochester. Both died fast. Long ago and far away…
