Von Price: Coomers had the best fish sandwiches Remembers Mrs. Coomer's cure for fish bone in throat; remembers that Joanne Odell made a set of photos of all the businesses around town and she may have given author a picture of Coomer's By Von Price Oh I remember Coomers restaurant very well. When I was a child growing up in Adair County I remember going to town on Saturday and my Mom and I would always go to Coomers and have a fried fish sandwich. I don't know why we always ate the same thing. But that is what we ate. I remember my brothers going to the Pool Room to get themselves a hamburger. I wanted a hamburger, but those days, women didn\'t go to Pool Rooms. Now they are called Pool Halls. The one thing I remember about eating my fish sandwich one Saturday was I swallowed a small bone from the fish and it got hung in my throat. I started coughing and gagging and I remember Mrs. Coomer brought me a slice of white bread and told me to make a ball out of the white part and swallow it..that it would dislodge the fish bone. Sure enough I swallowed the fish bone! This is a true story, not a Fish tale. My Mom always said they had the best fish sandwich in town. The only person I can think of who might have a picture of the restaurant would be Joanna Odell. She made a set of all the store fronts on the square for me. But I can not remember if there was one of Coomer's Restaurant. And since I am moving they are packed up and stored. If I find it I will certainly share. Good luck in finding a picture of a wonderful place to eat when I was a child, and let me tell you, that was some time ago! - Von Price, Louisville, KY (New address will be in Englewood, Florida) Comments re article 62680 Still wanting photos of Coomers Restaurant in downtown Columbia KY This story was posted on 2013-10-15 09:20:09
