“Looking backward again this week in another first in this picture of Waynesboro’s first cafe. The establishment was known as City Cafe and was located on the east side of the Public Square in the building now occupied by Factory Outlet Store. Edward Griggs, now of Columbia, began the business in 1922, first as a grocery; later converting to a cafe. It burned in 1931. Those in the picture, from left to right, are Jessie Griggs, Haggard Hollis, Ottie Tharp, Lillian Griggs, Sam Smith, and Edwin Griggs.”
