Even in the depths of the Great Depression, local folks found time to lose their troubles for a night out. Perhaps for a dinner few hours at the movies.-
SJBill said... - (Upper right corner of the ad) The Ewing Riding Club was in operation back in the late 60s - early 70s. The bar-restaurant was not of high quality, but it was a cheap venue for hosting gatherings following road rallies and such. We once used the pay-phone booth to hook up a phone modem to a time-share computer which gave us "instant" scoring for each of the rally competitors (the code was written in Basic, and I believe this was a historic "first"). The bar out back was still open late in the night after we "closed" places like Murphy's Chuckwagon (I was still single then!). A greatplace to get that last "Seven & Seven". IRRC the Riding Club was out on Bear Tavern Road (on the way to Harbourton) near the small circle in the road.
