Hello, I Lived on Liberty, with the small corner store, where we ran a bill. My parents owned the Surgar Bowl Resturant on Grandville Ave. I First saw Television standing in front of the hardware store (across from Eastern Floral), watching "Howdy Doody". I attended Hall street school (remember at five, getting head lice from school. I remember the YoYo man on the corner and the lady that handed out sewing cards. We use to go down to Heckmans and they would hand us free sweets. So many great memories. I tried to find the museum last summer and everything has changed so much, even the school is gone. I would like directions and I want to purchase the book. I need directions. Barb (Stressman) Collins
