It's soooo sad!!!! everything we grew up with has been built on. I played in that corn field after school everyday! Now there is an old ass crusty Walmart!

[Michelle(Mickie Johnson)Brockup]

I agree... that is sad! to see the old stomping grounds now... it's sad.

The Commons I believe was the name of the A&P/Zayre "Shopping Center".
From the west: Laundromat, Dry Cleaners, Barone's, A&P, Walgreen's, Steven's Furniture, Pet Store, Fabric Store, Thom McAnn Shoes, Bressler's 33 Flavors, Zayre. I am missing a few stores I think.
Zayre later splits into T.J. Maxx/Zayre, A&P leaves, Great Scot takes over.
That was THE Place in town in it's day.....

[Paul Singh, DDS]

Yes I remember that dog. It was the owner's pet. It was always in there. It was a siberian husky. I totally forgot about that til your post. My dad would take me in there just to see that dog.

[Connie Benson]

Barone's pizza almost forgot about that place. Our family didn't go out to eat often but when we did it was there. What about portillo's. I grew up eatin those hotdogs lol

[Rocky Simone]

True Value was actually Home Hardware, worked there my senior year.

[Patrick Crawford]

It was called Home Value Center...then it closed and turned into Aldi....then that closed and turned into something else before turning into Tailgaters

[Kevin Meehan]

It was Pete's before it was Tailgaters. The original For Pete's Sake was on the northwest corner of Boughton and 5.
