Barbara Petty Remembers South Broad Street
Barb P said...
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.

Good memory I remember they area too, they were the good days. I spent a lot of time in Priors donuts, Mike and his brothers and sisterd inhaled those creamy long wonderful donuts.
Hi Mack: I have to mention the ice cream parlor on So, Clinton Ave. across from Urken and Kohn's and Brown's Novelty. They offered a tremenous banana split for 25 cents and ice cream sodas for 15 cents. I'm putting on weight just thinking about those places we had in those days gone by. I can't remember the name of that store. Was it Anderson's? Best regards.
Ralph,
That was Eddies Sweet Shop on hte corner of Division and S. Clinton. Whitey and Brownie and their guests frequented this place.
