Funny...in all those trips our family made on Saturday afternoons to shop downtown, I never went in to Nagles Book Store. But I sure made it a point to always visit Cummins Bookstore!

So many of our pictures have been passed between some of us here. It's always refreshing to find and see something new (or old, in this case...ha ha).

The Oriental Gardens. That's one which I had totally forgotten. The new Standard station, by the way, replaced the one which was located just west of the southwest corner of 25th and Central. That building is still there. After many years as a tattoo shop (among other things) it is now part of Thompson Furniture.
