1025 South Broad Street The Burg. Once Frances Beauty Salon
now an Art Shop. This is an example of an American
architectural era now long gone but its beauty remains.
You can often find similar examples in smaller towns
that have become tourist and/or quaint shopping places
such as Lambertville NJ or New Hope PA and
countless other towns:)
UPDATE: Anon SC says Lahaska PA too:)

How about Lahaska, PA (spelling?). Use to go there to see all the Christmas lights and shop in the little shops. Use to go there with my grandchildren when they were little.

Yes Lahaska too:)
I remember a train went back
and forth between these places.
Somehow the name Ringoes is
coming to mind too:)
Mike, your dads office was 1095, this was a laundry mat when I was at 1072, next door to the right was a 5 & 10, then Cappuano' Fruit Stand (later Marazzos) then Mazzaros Meat Market (later Chico's Harley Davidson) and last on the corner of Broad and Harding was Cheap Johns Bargain Store (later Cumberland Farms with a parking lot). To the left was Osowitz Hardware (later a trophy store), next to that was Castranovas Beauty Supply and there were 2 sets of Semi's before Mechanics Bank (later National State Bank). Let's not forget the Working Mans Store and Siegels Pharmacy at Broad and Liberty. Jakes Lunchonette, Chambersburg Hospital (later The Professional Building, now Dr Kotsopey) at Broad and Anderson and Priors Donuts, at Liberty and Clinton. I'm amazing myself that I remember all of these places, just turned 60yesterday.
And the accordion studio on South Broad
and Frank the Barber, next to Chicos Harleys Davidson and Mad Dan the Barber next to Widows Watch Bar.
I still have many of the model planes, cars and ships I made from kits purchased at Marsh's Hobby Shop.
Great club in New Hope...The Menagerie..had 3 floors..right by the Bucks County Playhouse. Also, The Canal House nice place to seat and watch the barges go up and down the Canal...and The Lambertville Music Circus...great acts..Chicago, BB King, Maynard Ferguson..and on, and on.
Also on South Broad past Liberty..Trenton Photographers.
Wow Paul, I forgot about the photographers. He took my engagement pictures. Pete Serini took my wedding pictures. Wonder what ever happened to him.
