STORY ABOUT US
Amelia likes to tell the story that she knew that she was going to buy the CPC the first time she saw it. 6 years later the CPC is thriving.
The property is a building that once served as a one-room schoolhouse for the kids of the mill workers. The mill was located on Herring Run, which is now part of Herring Run Park, a stretch of over 2 miles of greenland that runs alongside Parkside Dr in Lauraville. It was later converted into a one room chapel, and then started its life a community meeting place when it was the young Democrats club. The Clifton Pleasure Club, already in existence since 1908, chose to move their club to its third and final location at 2803 Grindon in 1976. Just down the street on Grindon Avenue was the pickle factory operated by H.C. Schwartz. The place used the advertising slogan “Pay a nickel, buy a pickle.”
Pickles are gone, but the CPC still stands. Keep an eye on this spot for more history of how we became this place where “Weird Meets Wonderful”
