ca. 1927. This is the interior of the East End Market, 3102-08 Portland Ave., possibly around the time of its grand opening in July of 1927. The market was built for the Sotak Bros. by the Standard Construction Co. Some of the employees present have been identified as John Sotak, Vera Sotak, Mike Sotak, Leona Sotak (Mrs. Chuck) Paulik and Marie Sotak. Chuck Paulik would open Chuck's Lunch & Tavern in 1930 in part of the building. Chuck's Lunch would be renamed Chuck's Alibi Restaurant (after its cocktail room) in 1968.
