Restaurant One answer: ABC Lunch


Congratulations to our day one winners, and thank you for all of your good guesses. The answer was ABC Lunch , at 347 West Main. A cafe located at Five Points, owned and operated by Peter Ligets, ABC Lunch was open from the mid-1930s to the early 1960s. The location is currently Whiskey, a club/bar.

A link here to the Endangered Durham article on this building would be great. I kept trying to find where the ABC Lunch was, but couldn't figure out how to do it with the search engine here...

(Search function -- yet another reason to migrate this info to Open Durham!)

Kwix - happy to link it, but it's not very helpful. I've focused my energy on updating the info on Open Durham rather than on here - this "Five Points South" post I did five years ago that lumps together all of those storefronts without much detail is subdivided into three detailed geotagged posts with additional pictures on Open Durham.
