I posted multiple pictures so all the details could be seen close up including the addresses of the businesses. Does anyone remember any of these long gone businesses? Looks like all our needs were served locally back then. This surrounding neighborhood was very walk-able with ice cream shops, soda fountains, restaurants, a dime store, a seed and feed store, a bank, a movie theater, a toy store, a library, and many clothing outlets.
My dad and Uncle had a Sheet Metal shop called General Sheet Metal. It was on the east side of Lake just north of Washington. It was demolished for the gas station which is still on that corner. I wish I could find a clear photo of his business.
