Main Street

Willers store is where the roller skating ring was and before that it was a church I think.

I don't remember anyone owning the Spotless Cleaners except old Joe. Maybe someone with more gray hair than me can chime in if that isn't right. The Bargain Spot was something like a liquidation outlet. They sold a little of almost anything and there was never any guarantee that what they had today they would have tomorrow, or ever again.

I got a little more information. The store on Main St., across from the War Memorial, was Strawcutter's Store in the days before Max Smith, and later George Bedell, ran the establishment.

Now if somebody can just tell us what was in the laundromat, before washers and dryers.

In the early forties the laundromat building was a tractor and farm suppies store.

How about farm supplies. My dad was here and I questioned him about it.

Thanks for that info murking. I thought I could remember a sign for farm equipment being painted on the side of that building, maybe McCormick.. Now, thanks to your dad's memory, I know I'm not crazy... ;D

At the corner of 1st and Main on the south side was Turk's resturant (just a little old building and next to it was the old A&P which later became Willars before moving to its current location.
Where Bish has the barber shop now, I think that use to be a store of some kind and a butcher shop. Some say the butcher shop is still there! Bucket

Before Wil-Macs, it was D'Anna's soda fountain...before Willars took over their current buiding, it was a community center and we roller skated in there. Above Wiser's store
lived Katie Verona and her two daughters, Carol and Rosemary and Paul Sycalik Bucket

Katie Verona made me a cake one year for my birthday, it was orange, with orange flavored icing. I will never forget that cake, it was so good! My birthday is the day after Christmas, so I was used to getting a red and green cake and this was something special to me. She was a friend of my mom's. And from what I remember, she was a really good cook.
