Also, on Avenue 54 and Monte Vista, same building that is there now, it was a drug store and it also had a fountain where we would get milkshakes, and the drug store was in back. Also, on the same block, at the other end, Goodwill had a store, and my mother use to drag me into it to look around. That was at the corner of Avenue 55 and Monte Vista, the old building is still there. Use to be Boy’s Market across the street. And Pep Boys use to be Safeway, and the Unclaimed Freight store (sign is still there) was on the corner of Ave. 55 and Fig. The same corner as Pep Boys. And here is a memory…Where the Bank of America is now there was a miniature golf course! It was cool, with all kinds of machines that made these coins with your name on them. And a Standard Gas station was across the street where the Rental furniture place is now, which after that was Alfa Beta, then Food for Less….could go on forever…some other time…anybody remember?
