It was the Center Drug Store. I caught the school bus on this corner. After school we could get a candy bar and a soda for a grand total of 25 cents.

Funny, I remember the Center Drug Store but what I recall most about this building was that it had a metal sign on the side of it advertising Breyers Ice Cream. In those days (the 1970's) Breyers was still relatively expensive and most of us made do with Ann Page or Jane Parker ice cream from A&P...horrible stuff, really, but inexpensive. I remember seeing the sign often when my Mom drove our car by to the Hostess-Wonderbread Bakery Outlet wistfully wishing my Mom would stop the car and go there instead and buy me some ice cream!
