It was a soda fountain/magazine/comic bookstore. Attached to Cookie's was Anderson's Market. It was the best for penny and nickel candy! It was a mini grocery store with a great meat market. Anderson's later became "Angelini's"---unfortunately that was destroyed by fire on New Year's Day many years ago.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19041693.post-49536936087442396362012-10-07T17:57:38.029-04:002012-10-07T17:57:38.029-04:00Man - back in '71-72 time frame we would don o...Man - back in '71-72 time frame we would don our Steinert lettermen jackets and camp out on the steps of Gropp's until someone purchased beer for us ~ never had to wait too long:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19041693.post-11245851060472346332012-10-05T16:06:51.876-04:002012-10-05T16:06:51.876-04:00"Five Points" was fun to drive through b..."Five Points" was fun to drive through before the lights were installed. <br />I don't know when the lights went up as I left the area in '65. <br />I noticed the lights in '03 when down for a high school reunion and just happened to go through that area.<br /><br />Bob - HHS Class of '58Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19041693.post-13629801122019533372012-10-01T12:13:27.366-04:002012-10-01T12:13:27.366-04:00THANKS, ANONYMOUS.
