A quick Google search reveals some information about the US beef shortage. Anyone remember the shortage? Did it affect prices in Windsor/other Border Cities?
Have a good weekend everyone, see you back here Monday.

I should have memtioned that Janisse's Funeral Home was on the corner of Mercer St. and Sandwich St.now Riverside Dr.
My early days when I moved to Windsor (1950, when I was 16) I vaguely recall someone who lived, or worked, at Janisse's by the name of Joseph St. Amore (I recall the name because there is an apt. bldg on Sherbourne St. in Toronto by the same name! I guess the timeline would indicate that your family had left by then. The St. Amore's were perhaps there afterward.
yes Ken I remember the St. Amores...Jenny...Joes mother was the bookkeeper at Janisse's when I lived there and his dad would work in the evenings answering the door. I
lived there from 1926 until 1942.
Wow, Benny's Lunch. My first mother-in-law, Mary Talley, worked there for-e-ver! I helped behind the counter a couple of times and Benny and Mary were very patient with me because I was so slow. Well, slow compared to them. They knew everybody and had their orders going before they could park their butts on a stool. I still remember the smell; it smelled so alive, everything fresh and real. That would have been the mid-seventies. Everything changes, but still.
