Ok, here’s one for the Essex County experts out there… Any guesses about this one? Old Highway 98, was renamed County Rd 46 in 1970. There’s a vacant lot at the north east corner of County Road 46 and Highway 77. It looks like it was once a gas station, maybe this was the site?
Hope everyone had a good weekend!
You’re right, Andrew. There once was a restaurant and gas station on that site. I remember its name around the late 1980’s was Crossroads Restaurant, so it obviously went through a few phases.
I love looking at the wording in old ads. “A Real Treat Our … FISH AND CHIPS!”
Of course they need a caption in the ad to specify that the photo is an “Exterior view of our modern coffee shop.”
Any idea what year this ad was from?
Rob, modern it is – the old one had dirt floors!
Sorry Rob – June, 1954
