REMEMBER WHEN Waibel’s Cafe was famous for its lemon meringue pies? Larry Waibel opened his first place on Cass Street, where Which Wich is today, then moved to the location at 1341 Garnet Ave. pictured above. Howard Rozelle took this photo around 1948. I believe the old Garnet Avenue location is now occupied by The Buff. He eventually built his own restaurant at 877 Hornblend St. It was taken over by the Copper Skillet sometime in the 1970s. A whole bunch of folks have only known that corner as the site of China Inn.
