I'm new to this and was wondering if any of you know my family, the Riggi's. We lived on Woodlawn Ave for many years. I moved away years ago but always return to see family and the old town.

Cheers

I believe the other theater downtown on Main street was called the “Rapids Theater” and I believe it was located where Slipko’s Grocery or Jenns Department Store (Not sure of Spelling) was later located. I believe that Darby’s was a drive in type joint, which was where Carol’s hamburger ended up being. My uncle use to own the Varden Studio (the ones that took the Year Book Pictures) his name was Louis Angelo and he had the studio right behind that drive in, I think they first tore it down to put up a Henry’s Hamburger stand prior to Carols. It certainly was many years back to remember all this stuff.

I don`t know how old you are but you may remember my Aunt Norma Bollman or my mother Patricia Johnson. Also do you know any pizza places that I can order some of thier dough to be shipped to Florida. They just cant get thier pizza right.
