You’re not going to believe this, but my uncle was the other owner of Otto’s Tavern. I assume you’re talking about Otto. My uncle was his partner, Johnny Wroblewski.
Stranger still, Johnny also lives on Weaver Street now.
We lived not only in walking distance of the Sun Theater, but within a stone’s throw. Literally. And I could reach it with that stone even though I was only about three years old at the time. I actually lived on the second floor of the apartment building directly opposite Joseph Avenue from the Sun Theater. My grandmother owned that building until the 1960s, and lived in the house behind it, at 65 Zimbrich Street. All of her buildings have been torn down now, but people still live on the property.
I have great memories of the liveliness and brightness of the street in front of the Sun, the incredibly appetizing smell emanating from that nut shop next door, and the jubilant roars of the crowd at Red Wing Stadium, which could clearly be heard from there on a summer night when the Wings were at home.
