REMEMBER WHEN Coffee
was 80 cents a pound and we
bought the beans and ground them
at home When you could
have second cup in restaurants
at no charge +. When a one
room school house stood in the
field near the Junction of Fulton
and Bay Shore Roads? Believe
Miss Pearl Wahlers once taught
school there and that the school
building later was converted into
a house by Bill Nuppenau
When there were three railroads
to cross on Route 2 between Port
Clinton and Lacarne, the One-Mile,
the Two-Mile and the still exist
ing Three-Mile crossings. A bath
house stood along the lake front
at the One-Mile crossing and the
beach was one of the most popular
spots in the area each summer
Gus Daum operated jewel
ry store in the business district.
That wasn't too long ago.
