Shelter Deli sits vacant


It's been closed since September according to Worlee on a post over the The Sixth Ward Facebook Page. They made a mean corned beef and also was home to a lounge, unfortunately both are closed. There is a real estate sign in the window of this place. I didn't get close enough to read it, however, it may either be available to rent or up for sale.

The awning of this place is very tattered. Although who knows if it was the result of this place closing or it just wasn't maintained very well.

BTW, I found this article regarding one of the original owners of Shelter Deli/Lounge, Eunice Hamner. She passed away in March 2002. It gives a better history of this place and who used to run it. Of course the question is, what happened to this place that caused it to shut down.
