If I'm reading right, Phillip and son Bill opened two locations on W. Broad in Franklinton in 1912, one year before the 1913 flood. I think the 1244 location was above the floodplain, but not sure about the other location. Any idea how the flood affected their Broad Street locations?
From the Coney Island site:
Way back in 1912, shortly after immigrating to the United States from Greece, Phillip Manus opened his very first Coney Island. His business flourished; first at the High Street location, then at his best know location at 1244 W. Broad Street.
It was at about this time that Phillip’s son George, followed his father into the business,opening Phillip’s Son Coney Island on North High St. Later that same year, another son, Bill, joined the act, and together with his father, opened another restaurant on West Broad Street.

The High Street location is not related (for a long time) to the Broad Street location. In the past it was owned by an uncle. It is currently for sale. The current Broad Street location has been open since the early 80's.
After you get your $1 Coney on Monday, swing by SJT at 5:30 to support local Mobile Food and drink $1 beers. Looks like a great Monday!
