This has been a great subject for me just to relive the town again.
As many of you know I grew up right in the middle of town and have lots of memories of what the street looked like and where things were and the changes that took place over the years.?? It would be fun to draw a chart of where things were that we remember as I am sure we all have different memories.?
I am going to start to the left of my house (you remember I lived in the old hotel) first there was the town hall and the bandstand where the band would play each Saturday night when the farmers would come to town to do their banking and their shopping.? Then was the barber shop which had several owners over the years ...then came Slusser's grocery store where the small loaves of wonder bread came from for yes 10 cents.? Then there was a great little passage way thru to camille Schultz back yard.? Camille lived upstairs in the building and her parents had the lamplighter restaurant downstairs with a player piano in the back room that was just grand.? It later?became Bud Powley's TV and appliance store.? Then there was vandersal jewelry store in this tiny little store front and perhaps next to that was a meat market at one time, I am still trying to think of the name ??? Oh yes it was Stahls.?? PS above the meat market was a cobbler and I loved going there and smelling the leather ...I wish I could think of his name, he was a very old man, help me out here someone,? was it Mr Arnold?? And then it was Bergs (Geneva ...?dry good store where they sold fabrics and notions.? I think next was goudy furniture and then bergs grocery store where the Norman Bergs lived above it.? And then perhaps was Brown's lunch were many of our memories were made hanging out after school.? Then was the post office and I always enjoyed looking at the wanted list and scaring myself thinking those people were most probably in the neighborhood.? Then I think was a residence and then the wonderful Wright's 5 & 10 where they had huge chunks of chocolate that was sold by the pound and sen sen's and blue waltz perfume.? The next building was perhaps the very poor Massey family living upstairs and another barber shop.? Dan Hostettler?did your dad have a?barber shop there?? Then there was an open space or a parking lot and then started?some residences and then was the school supply place which was run by pet palmer.? Oh?I could tell you some stories about pet palmer!?? I remember buying pencils and ink bottles and erasers, protractors and etc in that little place which always had a funky smell.? Perhaps the newspaper was printed in the back room?? ?Then on up the street was the home of Ceila Denbrook who was an upper classman.? Soon we are arriving at good old Dalton Grade School which was full of lots of memories too and that is another subject for later.

Remember Brownie's Lunch that had great cherry cokes, greasy burgers
& fries? What a place to go after school to eat junk food, play pool,
play euchre, or just simply go there and do nothing. What a youth
experience.
Or how about Levi Berg's where you could buy an ice cream cone (double
dip Sealtest raspberry swirl) for a nickel (or maybe it was a dime)?
I never went to the back room as a kid because that was where all the
bad stuff was going on (probably card games or tip boards, maybe even
near beer was being consumed).
Do any of you have any memorable experiences at these places or any
other long gone places in Dalton?
My most memorable experience at Brownie's was when I was just a tad
of a kid (somewhere between probably 7 to 27 years old), I hate to
admit, but I stole a 10 cent bag of potato chips. Feeling guilty,
the next day I went back to Brownie's, threw a dime on the counter
and slinked away for atonement. "Lord, please forgive me" I said to
myself as I left. Lesson learned. I have not stolen anything since.
I guess my parents raised me well.
Let me know of your memories of theses places or others. I'm sure
everyone has a tale to tell.
I'll try to think of some other places in the area to jog your memory.

Pat,? You brought an excellent idea of
buidings to remember in Dalton.l? Being a country kid, I thought it was
"worldly" to go to Bown's for cherry cokes and pretzels.? Can remember
saving money from giving piano lessons so I could buy hershey almond bars as we
left.? And I had forgotten how much I enjoyed going to the 5 & 10 if
not to buy, just to look around.? Didn't get to "window shop" in Kidron or
Wooster since my parents were "practical minded".? "You don't go to the
store unless you need to buy something".? Gone are those days!? I knew
the guys went to the "back" and played pool but were the girls really
"forbidden" to go to bacl to the "depths of sin?!" or was it just an assumed
role play for the genders?? I also remember thinking that it was neat for
the Dalton kids to be friendly and inclusive of us Kidron farm kids.? Maybe
"you all" were the seeds for becoming ecumenical and global in my perspective in
life.? I credit my cousin Jon
Amstutz who played cello but was good
friends of Bruce Schantz and the basketball player, Dannie Thomas, for believing
gender gaps don't have to exist.? He let me help build bridges in the ditch
out beside his house along the road.? He also told me that Miss Santchi
called him down in the hall for whistling "a happy tune".? "Gentleman don't
do that in public.?"? He and I howled about that one.?
But I'm
getting of the subject of Class of '59.?
?
What happened to Mrs. Himes our 3rd grade teacher
and Mrs. Edwards, the 4th grade teacher?? She was the only teacher that
made me cry and all she did was repremand me for talking when I shouldn't
have.??? ?What a cry baby I was.
?
Hey you trumpet trio guys, remember who accompanied
you through State compeition?? Vic Gerber seemed to give me all the good
accompaniment jobs.? I did that all through college and later at Salem
College, Winsont-Salem where I got paid for doing so!
?
I also credit Vic Gerber for helping me believe
that music and sports cooperate and are not rivals.? Communication between
band directors and coaches were possible but I didn't realize that I had to make
it happed until my first year of teaching jr hi music in Wauseon, OH.? The
coaches there said "If my son had a choice, I make him play football and be a
man!"? To which I should have replied, I'd like my son to take music and be
a gentleman!
?
You guys are all gentlemen who also played
football, thank you very much!
?
Later.

Remember Brownie's Lunch that had great cherry cokes, greasy burgers
& fries? What a place to go after school to eat junk food, play
pool,
play euchre, or just simply go there and do nothing. What a
youth
experience.
Or how about Levi Berg's where you could
buy an ice cream cone (double
dip Sealtest raspberry swirl) for a
nickel (or maybe it was a dime)?
I never went to the back room as
a kid because that was where all the
bad stuff was going on
(probably card games or tip boards, maybe even
near beer was being
consumed).
Do any of you have any memorable experiences at these
places or any
other long gone places in Dalton?
My most
memorable experience at Brownie's was when I was just a tad
of a kid
(somewhere between probably 7 to 27 years old), I hate to
admit, but
I stole a 10 cent bag of potato chips. Feeling guilty,
the next day
I went back to Brownie's, threw a dime on the counter
and slinked
away for atonement. "Lord, please forgive me" I said to
myself as I
left. Lesson learned. I have not stolen anything since.
I guess
my parents raised me well.
Let me know of your memories of theses
places or others. I'm sure
everyone has a tale to tell.
I'll
try to think of some other places in the area to jog your
memory.

-- Pat: I think the cobbler was Adrian Spires. I thought his cobbler shop was across the street on your side of the street. I'm probably wrong but I like the name Adrian Spires. The best part of Wright's 5 and 10 was the Black Jack, Teaberry and Clove gum. I think somebody still makes those brands and they cost $1.00 or more per pack. I also remember Vandersal's Jewelry store. When I lived in Cleveland in 1963/64, I didn't trust big city stores, so I went back to Dalton to buy an engagement ring/wedding ring combo deal from Vandersal for my future wife Rose. She still has the rings even though she lost the diamond twice when it dislodged itself from the ring. Somehow I managed to find the diamond. Old Vandy must have been helping me out somehow. It pays to shop local. Thanks for the great recall you have. Mr. Douglas the Weaselmeister - In dalton59@..., "Patricia Lee" <pjlee123@...> wrote:

I am going to start to the left of my house (you remember I lived in the old hotel) first there was the town hall and the bandstand where the band would play each Saturday night when the farmers would come to town to do their banking and their shopping. Then was the barber shop which had several owners over the years ...then came Slusser's grocery store where the small loaves of wonder bread came from for yes 10 cents. Then there was a great little passage way thru to camille Schultz back yard. Camille lived
upstairs in the building and her parents had the lamplighter restaurant downstairs with a player piano in the back room that was just grand. It later became Bud Powley's TV and appliance store. Then there was vandersal jewelry store in this tiny little store front and perhaps next to that was a meat market at one time, I am still trying to think of the name ??? Oh yes it was Stahls. PS above the meat market was a cobbler and I loved going there and smelling the leather ...I wish I could think of his name, he was a very old man, help me out here someone, was it Mr Arnold? And then it was Bergs (Geneva ... dry good store where they sold fabrics and notions. I think next was goudy furniture and then bergs grocery store where the Norman Bergs lived above it. And then perhaps was Brown's lunch were many of our memories were made hanging out after school. Then was the post office and I always enjoyed looking at the wanted list and scaring myself thinking those people were most probably in the neighborhood. Then I think was a residence and then the wonderful Wright's 5 & 10 where they had huge chunks of
chocolate that was sold by the pound and sen sen's and blue waltz perfume. The next building was perhaps the very poor Massey family living upstairs and another barber shop. Dan Hostettler did your dad have a barber shop there? Then there was an open space or a parking lot and then started some residences and then was the school supply place which was run by pet palmer. Oh I could tell you some stories about pet palmer! I remember buying pencils and ink bottles and erasers, protractors and etc in that little place which always had a funky smell. Perhaps the newspaper was printed in the back room? Then on up the street was the home of Ceila Denbrook who was an upper classman. Soon we are arriving at good old Dalton Grade School which was full of lots of memories too and that is another subject for later
Tell me what you remember.............

Subject: RE: [dalton59] Historical/hysterical Dalton places like
Brownie's and Levi's
I played the trumpet in the band and kept it for many years and then
eventually sold it. Before high school I was in the Kidron School and John F. Lehman and Myron Nussbaum and I played in a trumpet trio and went to contest one year. After high school I never really played it again even though I had a major in Music Education.
I spent many hours in Brown's Lunch including pool playing in the back and card games in the very back room. How about the many hours we would stand out front late in the evening and hang out and tell jokes. Talk about a small world. My dad has a manufactured home in North Fort Myers, FL where they went for 20 plus winters. They helped Carl & Marcella Brown find a home in the the same park. My dad can't drive that far anymore so we ended up buying it from him and we now "snowbird" from Texas to Florida. Go figure that one out. Anyway, Carl and Marcella are still snowbirding there each year. It had been almost 50 years since I had seen them but we see each other every few days when we are there. His dad ran the Brown's Lunch and when he died, Carl and Marcella took over although Carl had a day job over in Orrville so Marcella did a lot of it. I believe Weasel participated in a few of those games. We frequently went to his house out on the hill to play pool in his basement
I can remember when I was younger going to the corner drugstore to read the magazines and get a coke. The Greyhound bus stopped right out in front.
I spent many hours working across the alley at Bach's service
station. That was a great experience.
Who can forget the Dairy Queen!
Then there was G.G. Grimm's car dealership right there in the center of town across from my grandparent's Furniture Store. I had them paint my '50 ford a turquoise color.
Have a GREAT DAY!

I was one of the bad boys who learned how to play pool and cards in the back rooms from the "old guys".? Loved to go to Brownies for those sloppy burgers, fries, and cherry cokes.? "Those Were the Days".? I remember returning to Dalton after living in CA with my mom from 52-56.? Dad brought me back, to stay out of trouble, and boarded me with my grandma Warnock.? To keep me out of trouble, (you know those bad California boys), he, me, Coaches McFarren and Biggs had a night meeting.? I ended up in football, basketball, track, baseball, band (trumpet), chorus, and drama.? Plus in my spare time, whenever that was, I had to work in his construction business.?

Pat,? You brought an excellent idea of buidings to remember in Dalton.l? Being a country kid, I thought it was "worldly" to go to Bown's for cherry cokes and pretzels.? Can remember saving money from giving piano lessons so I could buy hershey almond bars as we left.? And I had forgotten how much I enjoyed going to the 5 & 10 if not to buy, just to look around.? Didn't get to "window shop" in Kidron or Wooster since my parents were "practical minded".? "You don't go to the store unless you need to buy something".? Gone are those days!? I knew the guys went to the "back" and played pool but were the girls really "forbidden" to go to bacl to the "depths of sin?!" or was it just an assumed role play for the genders?? I also remember thinking that it was neat for the Dalton kids to be friendly and inclusive of us Kidron farm kids.? Maybe "you all" were the seeds for becoming
ecumenical and global in my perspective in life.? I credit my cousin Jon
Amstutz who played cello but was good friends of Bruce Schantz and the basketball player, Dannie Thomas, for believing gender gaps don't have to exist.? He let me help build bridges in the ditch out beside his house along the road.? He also told me that Miss Santchi called him down in the hall for whistling "a happy tune".? "Gentleman don't do that in public.?"? He and I howled about that one.?
But I'm getting of the subject of Class of '59.?
?
What happened to Mrs. Himes our 3rd grade teacher and Mrs. Edwards, the 4th grade teacher?? She was the only teacher that made me cry and all she did was repremand me for talking when I shouldn't have.??? ?What a cry baby I was.
?
Hey you trumpet trio guys, remember who accompanied you through State compeition?? Vic Gerber seemed to give me all the good accompaniment jobs.? I did that all through college and later at Salem College, Winsont-Salem where I got paid for doing so!
?
I also credit Vic Gerber for helping me believe that music and sports cooperate and are not rivals.? Communication between band directors and coaches were possible but I didn't realize that I had to make it happed until my first year of teaching jr hi music in Wauseon, OH.? The coaches there said "If my son had a choice, I make him play football and be a man!"? To which I should have replied, I'd like my son to take music and be a gentleman!
?
You guys are all gentlemen who also played football, thank you very much!

Later.

I remember the Book Restaurant, the in place to eat, isn't that where we had our 30th?? I remember Slussers market, and the barber shop near the Town Gazebo, can't remember the barbers name.? Everybody remember the "town cop", Bergie?? I remember we must have had a big game somwhere we won beacuse all the people paraded downtown in their cars blowing horns.? The parade continued past the light at the gazebo running the red.? Bergie wrote everyone a ticket, but?I believe Kate Slusser, the mayor then (?) had them all dismissed.
?
I had another long talk with "Cat" yesterday.? Mentally he is doing well.? He loves to talk over old times on the phone if anyone wants his number let me know.? He still is reluctant about the 50th but I told him to pack his bags because I'm not taking no for an answer.

to buy an engagement ring/wedding ring combo deal from Vandersal for
my future wife Rose. She still has the rings even though she lost
the diamond twice when it dislodged itself from the ring. Somehow I
managed to find the diamond. Old Vandy must have been helping me out
somehow. It pays to shop local.
Thanks for the great recall you have.

I think the cobbler was Adrian Spires. I thought his cobbler shop
was across the street on your side of the street. I'm probably wrong
but I like the name Adrian Spires. The best part of Wright's 5 and 10
was the Black Jack, Teaberry and Clove gum. I think somebody still
makes those brands and they cost $1.00 or more per pack.

Remember Brownie's Lunch that had great cherry cokes, greasy burgers
& fries? What a place to go after school to eat junk food, play pool,
play euchre, or just simply go there and do nothing. What a youth
experience.
Or how about Levi Berg's where you could buy an ice cream cone (double
dip Sealtest raspberry swirl) for a nickel (or maybe it was a dime)?
I never went to the back room as a kid because that was where all
the
bad stuff was going on (probably card games or tip boards, maybe even
near beer was being consumed).
Do any of you have any memorable experiences at these places or
any other long gone places in Dalton?
My most memorable experience at Brownie's was when I was just a
tad of a kid (somewhere between probably 7 to 27 years old), I hate
to admit, but I stole a 10 cent bag of potato chips. Feeling guilty,
the next day I went back to Brownie's, threw a dime on the
counter and slinked away for atonement. "Lord, please forgive me" I said
to myself as I left. Lesson learned. I have not stolen anything
since.
I guess my parents raised me well.
Let me know of your memories of theses places or others. I'm sure
everyone has a tale to tell.
I'll try to think of some other places in the area to jog your
memory.

Pat:
I think the cobbler was Adrian Spires. I thought his cobbler shop
was across the street on your side of the street. I'm probably wrong
but I like the name Adrian Spires. The best part of Wright's 5 and 10
was the Black Jack, Teaberry and Clove gum. I think somebody still
makes those brands and they cost $1.00 or more per pack.
I also remember Vandersal's Jewelry store. When I lived in Cleveland
in 1963/64, I didn't trust big city stores, so I went back to Dalton
to buy an engagement ring/wedding ring combo deal from Vandersal for
my future wife Rose. She still has the rings even though she lost
the diamond twice when it dislodged itself from the ring. Somehow I
managed to find the diamond. Old Vandy must have been helping me out
somehow. It pays to shop local.
Thanks for the great recall you have.

great subject for me just to relive the town again.
As many of you know
I grew up right in the middle of town and have lots of memories of
what the street looked like and where things were and the changes that
took place over the years.?? It would be fun to draw a chart
of where things were that we remember as I am sure we all have
different memories.?
I am going to start
to the left of my house (you remember I lived in the old hotel) first
there was the town hall and the bandstand where the band would play
each Saturday night when the farmers would come to town to do their
banking and their shopping.? Then was the barber shop which had
several owners over the years ...then came Slusser's grocery store
where the small loaves of wonder bread came from for yes 10
cents.? Then there was a great little passage way thru to camille
Schultz back yard.? Camille lived upstairs in the building and
her parents had the lamplighter restaurant downstairs with a player
piano in the back room that was just grand.? It later?became
Bud Powley's TV and appliance store.? Then there was vandersal
jewelry store in this tiny little store front and perhaps next to that

??? Oh yes it was Stahls.?? PS above the meat market was a
cobbler and I loved going there and smelling the leather ...I wish I

were many of our memories were made hanging out after school.?
Then was the post office and I always enjoyed looking at the wanted
list and scaring myself thinking those people were most probably in
the neighborhood.? Then I think was a residence and then the
wonderful Wright's 5 & 10 where they had huge chunks of chocolate
that was sold by the pound and sen sen's and blue waltz perfume.?
The next building was perhaps the very poor Massey family living
upstairs and another barber shop.? Dan Hostettler?did your

Remember Brownie's Lunch that had great cherry cokes, greasy
burgers
& fries? What a place to go after school to eat junk
food, play pool,
play euchre, or just simply go there and do
nothing. What a youth
experience.
Or how about Levi Berg's
where you could buy an ice cream cone (double
dip Sealtest
raspberry swirl) for a nickel (or maybe it was a dime)?
I never
went to the back room as a kid because that was where all the
bad
stuff was going on (probably card games or tip boards, maybe even
near beer was being consumed).
Do any of you have any
memorable experiences at these places or any
other long gone
places in Dalton?
My most memorable experience at Brownie's was
when I was just a tad
of a kid (somewhere between probably 7 to 27
years old), I hate to
admit, but I stole a 10 cent bag of potato
chips. Feeling guilty,
the next day I went back to Brownie's,
threw a dime on the counter
and slinked away for atonement. "Lord,
please forgive me" I said to
myself as I left. Lesson learned. I
have not stolen anything since.
I guess my parents raised me
well.
Let me know of your memories of theses places or others.
I'm sure
everyone has a tale to tell.
I'll try to think of
some other places in the area to jog your memory.

Remember Brownie's Lunch that had great cherry cokes, greasy
burgers
& fries? What a place to go after school to eat junk
food, play pool,
play euchre, or just simply go there and do
nothing. What a youth
experience.
Or how about Levi Berg's
where you could buy an ice cream cone (double
dip Sealtest
raspberry swirl) for a nickel (or maybe it was a dime)?
I never
went to the back room as a kid because that was where all the
bad
stuff was going on (probably card games or tip boards, maybe even
near beer was being consumed).
Do any of you have any
memorable experiences at these places or any
other long gone
places in Dalton?
My most memorable experience at Brownie's was
when I was just a tad
of a kid (somewhere between probably 7 to 27
years old), I hate to
admit, but I stole a 10 cent bag of potato
chips. Feeling guilty,
the next day I went back to Brownie's,
threw a dime on the counter
and slinked away for atonement. "Lord,
please forgive me" I said to
myself as I left. Lesson learned. I
have not stolen anything since.
I guess my parents raised me
well.
Let me know of your memories of theses places or others.
I'm sure
everyone has a tale to tell.
I'll try to think of
some other places in the area to jog your memory.

John,
Thanks for reminding me of my favorite gum, Teaberry.??? It had the most unique flavor.???? And I also liked Black Jack gum, but not as much as Teaberry.???? At the 5 and 10, I would buy this candy that I liked.??? It was red, round like a ball, ?and wrapped individually and it?burnt the whole inside of your mouth as soon as you put it in your mouth.??? After a while, it became a little more cool to the taste and at the end, you could crunch it with your teeth.? ?? "Red hots" or something like that.??? ?Five for 5 cents......

Pat:
I think the cobbler was Adrian Spires. I thought his cobbler shop
was across the street on your side of the street. I'm probably wrong
but I like the name Adrian Spires. The best part of Wright's 5 and 10
was the Black Jack, Teaberry and Clove gum. I think somebody still
makes those brands and they cost $1.00 or more per pack.
I also remember Vandersal's Jewelry store. When I lived in Cleveland
in 1963/64, I didn't trust big city stores, so I went back to Dalton
to buy an engagement ring/wedding ring combo deal from Vandersal for
my future wife Rose. She still has the rings even though she lost
the diamond twice when it dislodged itself from the ring. Somehow I
managed to find the diamond. Old Vandy must have been helping me out
somehow. It pays to shop local.
Thanks for the great recall you have.

Scottish on mothers side French on dads.? I wAs not that good at basketball, my dad played professional and made me and my brother practice everyday, I got to dislike it.? Played in high school because I was made to.? Loved football and baseball.? Probably was tallest in class but very self concious about that.

Lanny,
?
Sounds like your Dad's plan go bring you back to OH worked out.? You were so buy, thanks to the coaches and all the extra curricula, you did stay out of trouble.? And look how successful you've become!??? Weren't you the tallest person in our class?? That's how I remember you.? Being so tall and so blond, I was sure you had relatives in Scandinavian!? I now know that they have as many dark haired citizens as blondes.? What was your average? score per game in basketball?? Or would you rather than recall?!

I was one of the bad boys who learned how to play pool and cards in the back rooms from the "old guys".? Loved to go to Brownies for those sloppy burgers, fries, and cherry cokes.? "Those Were the Days".? I remember returning to Dalton after living in CA with my mom from 52-56.? Dad brought me back, to stay out of trouble, and boarded me with my grandma Warnock.? To keep me out of trouble, (you know those bad California boys), he, me, Coaches McFarren and Biggs had a night meeting.? I ended up in football, basketball, track, baseball, band (trumpet), chorus, and drama.? Plus in my spare time, whenever that was, I had to work in his construction business.?

Pat,? You brought an excellent idea of buidings to remember in Dalton.l? Being a country kid, I thought it was "worldly" to go to Bown's for cherry cokes and pretzels.? Can remember saving money from giving piano lessons so I could buy hershey almond bars as we left.? And I had forgotten how much I enjoyed going to the 5 & 10 if not to buy, just to look around.? Didn't get to "window shop" in Kidron or Wooster since my parents were "practical minded".? "You don't go to the store unless you need to buy something".? Gone are those days!? I knew the guys went to the "back" and played pool but were the girls really "forbidden" to go to bacl to the "depths of sin?!" or was it just an assumed role play for the genders?? I also remember thinking that it was neat for the Dalton kids to be friendly and inclusive of us Kidron farm kids.? Maybe "you all" were the seeds for becoming
ecumenical and global in my perspective in life.? I credit my cousin Jon
Amstutz who played cello but was good friends of Bruce Schantz and the basketball player, Dannie Thomas, for believing gender gaps don't have to exist.? He let me help build bridges in the ditch out beside his house along the road.? He also told me that Miss Santchi called him down in the hall for whistling "a happy tune".? "Gentleman don't do that in public.?"? He and I howled about that one.?
But I'm getting of the subject of Class of '59.?
?
What happened to Mrs. Himes our 3rd grade teacher and Mrs. Edwards, the 4th grade teacher?? She was the only teacher that made me cry and all she did was repremand me for talking when I shouldn't have.??? ?What a cry baby I was.
?
Hey you trumpet trio guys, remember who accompanied you through State compeition?? Vic Gerber seemed to give me all the good accompaniment jobs.? I did that all through college and later at Salem College, Winsont-Salem where I got paid for doing so!
?
I also credit Vic Gerber for helping me believe that music and sports cooperate and are not rivals.? Communication between band directors and coaches were possible but I didn't realize that I had to make it happed until my first year of teaching jr hi music in Wauseon, OH.? The coaches there said "If my son had a choice, I make him play football and be a man!"? To which I should have replied, I'd like my son to take music and be a gentleman!
?
You guys are all gentlemen who also played football, thank you very much!
?
Later.

This has been a great subject for me just to relive the town again.
As many of you know I grew up right in the middle of town and have lots of memories of what the street looked like and where things were and the changes that took place over the years.?? It would be fun to draw a chart of where things were that we remember as I am sure we all have different memories.?
I am going to start to the left of my house (you remember I lived in the old hotel) first there was the town hall and the bandstand where the band would play each Saturday night when the farmers would come to town to do their banking and their shopping.? Then was the barber shop which had several owners over the years ...then came Slusser's grocery store where the small loaves of wonder bread came from for yes 10 cents.? Then there was a great little passage way thru to camille Schultz back yard.? Camille lived upstairs in the building and her parents had the lamplighter restaurant downstairs with a player piano in the back room that was just grand.? It later?became Bud Powley's TV and appliance store.? Then there was vandersal jewelry store in this tiny little store front and perhaps next to that was a meat market at one time, I am still trying to think of the name ??? Oh
