Slowly but surely, piece by piece, graphic by graphic, the digital files in the Hamilton Library Local History Collection begin to connect to each other.

ReplyDeleteHI GARY; GREAT TO HEAR FROM YOU:
ReplyDeleteIT WAS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF SOUTH BROAD STREET. I THINK SOMEONE SAID THE PLACE WAS NOW A STORE SELLING CHICKEN FOOD. SORRY I CAN'T BE MORE SPECIFIC. THE LATE BOB SIMPKINS, AND OLD FRIEND OF MINE TOLD ME THE ACTUAL LOCATION, BUT I NEVER LOGGED IT. I'M SURE I OR ONE OF OUR VISITORS WILL BE ABLE TO PIN POINT IT.
