C.C. Cohen Restaurant 103 Market Square, Paduach Kentucky


MRS. STELLA COHEN PEINE
C.C. COHON RESTAURANT
THE GHOST
Ask the EMPLOYEES, at the C.C. COHON RESTAURANT www.cccohen.com about Stella. They'll say she's the ghost who lives upstairs and wanders the restaurant at odd hours. Almost everyone has a story about coming into open the restaurant and finding the chairs moved or salt and peper shakers dumped.
_____________________________________________________________________
Others will tell about lights and signs unplugged. They maybe talking about Stella Cohen Keine, who lived upstairs after her husband was killed in an alley nearby until her death in 1980. The upstairs "Palor" is a reproduction of the Cohen Sisters" living room. The Cohen sisters picture still hangs in the Parlor. See the story of Stella on the Travel Channel.

When visiting the restaurant you will find this paragraph located on the Menu.

As a genealogist you may find more about Stella cohen Peine at ANCESTRY.COM OR FAMILYSEARCH.ORG

Known to most Paducah residents as the Cohen Building, this important structure was built around 1865, probably for the firm of M. Livingston & Company. Afterward, it became a clothing store, a dry goods store, and, in 1914, a Paducah City Directory identified the occupants as the R.L Peacher Liquor Dealers and the Rehkopf Distilling Company.
The Cohen Family owned this distinctive corner from around 1921 until 1980, when the last member of the Cohen family, Stella Cohen Peine, died upstairs in her apartment.
Alan Raidt now owns the building and business known as C.C. Cohen Restaurant and Bar which now occupies the entire building. It is an important stop for both locals and tourists in the city.

GHOSTLY PRESENCE OF STELLA COHON PEINE.

The first photo I took inside the resturant was of the bar. I took all the photo's with my cell 8-31-07 time 5:30 PM. My cell phone doesn't have a feature to focus the pictures. I looked into the view before I took the photo and it was clear and ready to take. This was the out come of the photo.
__________________________________________
This second photo was taken minutes afterwards and it is focused. Then my cell photo automatically shut of and then it turned itself back on. Then I tried to retake the photo trying to cover the dining area and it would not let me.
__________________________________________________________________
Stop my phone from taking another picture. I told the workers at the restaurant and I showed my server and he was freaked. See for yourself.

How to Write a letter Using Clip Art


My husband is currently on his 4th tour to Iraq. When I write him a letter I use clip art. The reason why I use Clip art it makes it a little more humorous.
Too the left I use this to let him know when he comes home I cannot wait to see him. I will post a typical letter that I write to him using Clip art. Yes it's unusual way to write.
