Testa’s restaurant in Palm Beach, an old hangout of Chet and Myrtle Warrington in their years in Palm Beach, closes 15 July 2017 to rebuild. Testa’s was started in 1921, moved to its current location and building in 1946, a couple of years before Chet’s yacht tied up at the West Palm Beach Municipal Marina shown below.
Courier in the “place of things to come:” the West Palm Beach Municipal Marina, during Christmas 1948. Courier took a long cruise from Chicago nearly all the way to the end of the United States, a long cruise in a yacht then and now. More of Palm Beach is in the background. Chet and his wife Myrtle would move to Palm Beach in 1957, where they would live the last years of their lives.

In the background is the Flagler Bridge, the northernmost bridge from the mainland to the Town of Palm Beach. Fairly new when the photograph was taken, it has been replaced by a new bridge. Chet and his wife Myrtle would move to Palm Beach in 1957, where they would live the last years of their lives.
It remained a favourite of theirs until Chet’s death in 1961 and Myrtle’s in 1976.
