“Back in da day” Johnson C. Smith University Student Hangouts

Do you remember Johnson’s Café, Veteran’s Grill, Club Ballet and the Excelsior Club? Harry T. Webb, freshman class 1953, sure does.  He remembers card playing on the second floor and treating a young lady to ice cream on the first floor of Johnson Café. Webb loved the hot burgers, cold beer and live music at the Veteran’s Grill.  According to Webb, Club Ballet and the Excelsior Club may have been located off Beatties Ford Rd but only the sophisticated people made it in the Excelsior Club.  Where were your hangouts when you where at Smith?
