    1. [PAMCKEESPORT] memories
    2. Since we are brousing down memory lane-- Does anyone remember Finkles market ,on 5th ave near Coursin and later across from the reservoir by Centennial School. My Mom had a running bill at the store as did many people. She would charge groceries untill payday and then pay the bill--no interest was charged. Once when my Uncle in Okla got very ill and Mom had to make a trip there ,Mr Finkle offered to lend her the money and put it on her tab with no interest.. Sure dont have bussiness people like that now.. They also delivered the groceries to the door.no charge. Then there was Matt Fulmers corner store on 5th and Huey . I remember a lady worked there had LONG Long fingernails--My godfather bought me a $1.00 worth of candy and it filled a lunch bag- - ( 1945) Greennblats furniture store and next to it their Toy Store. And Greenwalds Market were for dollar you could get a loaf of bread , milk and lunchmeat and have change.left for a few pieces of candy And of course ISLAYS with their skyscraper ice cream cone. And one last memory--- The Federal Bakery -I thinkit was on the corner of 5th and Sinclair--The smells coming from ther were awesome.They had a huge fan that blew the aroma into the air outside, On payday Mom always stopped on her way home from paying bills and got Maple rolls --I can still smell them--AH!!!!!!--Arn`t memories nice---Donna
