It was 1966 and something big was happening on Main Street

Posted by Fred Steiner on November 2, 2015 - 5:11pm

This photo is worth ten thousand words.

The month and year is August 1966. The photographer is Dick Boehr. 

Q: What's taking place in this scene?
A: The Ream family Community Market, 128 N. Main St., (on the left) has closed and Steiner and Huser Men's Clothier, 126 N. Main St., (on the right) has relocated to South Main - the current location of The Food Store.

In place of both businesses is an expanded Balmer's women's clothing store. This business eventually became Uhlman's women's clothing store. Then it became Greg's Pharmacy.
