The Sweet Shop, which was owned by Esther and Clyde Kirkland, was located at 624 St. George Street, between South Sixth and Seventh Streets. There was a lunch counter in the front of the establishment and a dance floor surrounded by booths, at the rear. Snacks and sandwiches were served at the counter or in a booth. In the mid-1960's a jukebox was located at the rear of the dance floor, which was behind the dancers. Mr. and Mrs. Kirkland lived in a house that was next to The Sweet Shop. This photograph was taken in the early to mid-1950's. |
