Lou Esper Barber Stylist
Michigan City, IN |
 |
 |
 |
|
The Lou Esper Barber Stylist occupies a Valentine diner which opened here in 1956. It was known as the M&M Diner until it closed in the mid-1960s. In the early 1970s, most of the interior was stripped when the diner was converted into the barber shop. The two photos on the left are from 2006. The photo on the right is from 2009. I believe the barber is still in business despite the now missing sign above the building. For more, see this website.
