Remembering When

You know you grew up in Broad Street Park if you remember:

1.  The Park 5c and 10c store on South Broad Street.

2.  Dr. Dodge's office on South Broad Street.

3.  The unique sound of the fire horn atop Rusling Hose Company headquarters that      sounded an alarm.     

4.  Cold spells that froze White City Lake to allow ice skating.

5.  The gas station at the corner of South Broad Street and Harrison Avenue.

6.  The playground on McClellan Avenue.

7. The one-room building at the end of New Cedar Lane where the boy scouts  met.

8.  Friedman and Frompkin drug store on South Broad Street.

9.  The fire company and church carnivals.

10.  The ACME on South Broad opposite New Cedar Lane.
