1946: GROPP'S WHITE HORSE HOTEL

This excellent photo showing cars on South Broad Street approaching the White Horse circle shows the White Horse Hotel which for whatever reason was demolished and lost to posterity. So many of our town fathers in years past had little interest in historic preservation as opposed to "progress."

I Remember the circle well. Hung out at Scotty's with the rest of the gang drinking milk shakes. Remember too there was a Tomato Pie place that we used to go after operetta practice. Can't remember the name but it was like yesterday. Wow! Tom,these pictures are the absolute greatest.

As Ralph reminded me the last week, when I digressed on this area, it was the great "Tony Cal's" aka the Petito family. They moved to Rt. 33, and prospered there for years, before being bought out by Dave Eide, who operated a "Boite" at that location; Shakespear's ?
