Richie and Mary Jerome built and opened this little 600 square foot bar in 1946 named it Richie and Mary's. The building was constructed using locally made hand cast concrete blocks. The only real update that has been done is the modern restrooms replacing the outhouses.

This is the first view of the building when you turn off Route 66 (S., Sherman Blvd.) onto E. Andrew Rd. You go past the old rest area and across the railroad tracks to get to the bar.

Between when the bar first opened and 2015 when we snapped these photos the bar had only had four owners, the latest being Tim Farley who had owned it for over 14 years.
