Can you identify this intersection? It's from 1973
This photo requires a little imagination. Dick Boehr snapped the picture on Feb. 17, 1973. His view is from what is today the A to Z Meats property on the southwest corner of Main and Jefferson.
He is aiming at the Sohio service station, across the street (most recently Kirtland's Auto Sales). the two houses north of Sohio are about to be razed. In their place will be a Lawson's store. It eventually will be owned by Kirtland's Auto.
Those are some pretty big gas hogs in the photos.
