When "Mom" Blanche Parr sold the Linger Inn in 1945, she built this popular restau-rant across the street. Parr included a basement lounge and bowling alley in the plans and served some of the best fried chicken around. She sold Club 52 to Bob Hulse and Ed Truitt who in turn sold it to Kelly Gilliam. It operated for a few years as The Knotty Pine. Building is now demolished. BCHS image
