| Downtown: once the center of town, the central business district. Where you went for shoes, or to ride the elevator in Ward's. There was Kress, Schnacks, Wellans, Weiss & Goldring and lots more. It was where you did your banking. Where you had a soda at Walgreen's, and got your hair cut at Mr. Dore's. Where you purchased 45rpm records. And viewed the Christmas decorations at the City Hall. The streets were busy, and the sidewalks crowded with lots of people...neighbors seeing neighbors. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
