| Notes | Title by cataloger. Chinnick's, a locally famous poolroom located on Pearl St., was really much more than a poolroom. With its restaurant on the first floor, pool tables on the second and bowling on the third, Chinnick's became a favorite haunt of world-class sports stars and visiting celebrities. Bill Sefton served in D-Day, owned a progressive advertising firm, and raised a large family on Plymouth Ave. across from the Blodgett estate. He attended the D-Day anniversary in 2014. |
