You’d think the tale of Cooper Do-Nuts would be put to rest by now, or at least, after all my blather on the subject, not further touched upon by me.
But, local government officials have asked the City to memorialize the corner of Second and Main as “Cooper’s Do-nuts Square,” which is just…weird.
Especially since the guy who tells the riot story never said it happened up near Second Street; moreover, there was no Cooper Do-nuts at that location in the spring of 1958 or 1959.
