    3. The filling station I mentioned in my earlier email was at the SW corner of Main and Commercial and was adjacent to the Leon Hotel which faced Main. The stations that came along later are close but at different places. The Diamond DX station, built by my granddad's partner Clint Davis and, I guess owned by the Carwrights later, was at the NE corner of Church and Commercial diagonally across from the Methodist Church. The other station -- 107 W Commercial -- the Phillips 66 is the one that was located where my home was -- we moved the house in 1937 -- at the SE corner of Church and Commercial St and directly across east from that same church. Looking at Google maps I see that Commercial St is now called 1st. Actually, I never called it either one -- it was rte 2. Yes, they changed the numbering of E-W streets. When our house was moved we were on 11th street south. After the renumbering its new mail address was on 4th St South. ... jack ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Albright" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, December 01, 2009 11:06 AM Subject: Re: [IADECATU] Leon opera house FYI: My 1968 telephone directory for Leon and nearby towns shows the Hotel Leon at 104 South Main and Cartwright's DX Service Station at 101 West Commercial. There also was Robinson's 66 Service Station at 107 West Commercial. I don't know if either filling station is the one mentioned in the postings but in '68 those are the only ones listed on Commercial and none was listed in the first block of Main, but not all stations in the phone book had addresses.
