Yeah, My big brother remembers lotsa stuff. The guys name was Trimble. He had a daughter, if i recall, named Jackie. She and our next door neighbor's daughter were very good friends. When did they close the long's dairy store on 9th st.? I don't remember it being anything but a dairy. They used to bring the milk for our milk time at the washington school and we used to have a contest to see who could drink the fastest. Oh, the headaches I got from that.

OMG.... I remember the dairy before it was Longs Dairy. Whew, I must be ancient. It was originally called Waples Dairy. I think Bus Waple, who lived up in Hillcrest, owned it. Those were the days of glass milk bottles, with the cream rising to the top of the milk, capped with a cardboard lid. That dairy, which later became Longs, was a bigtime business around here at one time. Every single morning, during the work week, they would go from house to house delivering their milk. Not sure when the business was closed Robbuck. Back then we had the milkman, the coalman, the postman, the gasman, the electricman, the policeman, the fireman.... on Halloween, we had the boogyman. Man, we had 'em all, right at our door steps. Oh, those good 'ole days.... gone, but not forgotten.... yet.
BTW, think it was Robbuck that asked above if anyone knew where the "Silco Department Store" was located. I'll take a wild guess, going by 3 hints; department store, 2nd floor, and flooding.... was it where Lugg and Edmonds used to be ?? I personally do not remember it. Musta' been before my time.

Well, Silco Dept Store was located right across the alley from the Tyrone News Agency. It was a Dollar General Store not too many years ago, before they moved to their present location. And yes I remember the milkman, but ours came from Haag's dairy originally and later from Hagerty's.. But don't forget to "Ring the bell for Logan Bell" :fogey: And don't forget one other man that came around on a regular basis.. The insurance man. Picking up your monthly check for insurance he sold you.

Wasn't there one near where the Five and Ten was on the PA Ave entrance side? I recall a big "Rexall" sign in that area.

I went to school with both Joanne Waple and the Haag girl, for some reason I think her name was Joanne, also, but not sure of that. I'd have to look in my yearbook. Anyhow, Joanne Waple lived up on 5th street on the way to the new highschool. I was going to mention Haag's, but someone beat me to it. (Rob) Remember the milk boxes on your front porch?
