does anybody remember the name of the old dime store on N. Grand? Sams pizza is there now. I used to get brachs candy by the ounce! I would go in with 25 cents and get chocolate stars and choc. covered peanuts and have a nickle left over for choc. milk. I loved that store!

If I remember right. The fire house was later a Gebharts Automotive store. That was back when I used to love going to “the avenue”.

The building to the east didn’t only lose the nice bay window, if you look closley, the whole building is a little parking lot.

How strange. I live in Dallas also. I used to live in Springfield about 16 years ago. I came back to visit and stop at Mel-O-Cream…they don’t have them there. I made a comment about the window treatments to my mom. I think this was the Dick Van Dyke applicance center in the 1970′s. Maybe the window treatments reflect that time.

My father, Dutch Pehlman was a fireman at that fire station and went on to become Chief of the department some years later. I used to get to stay there with him every now and then and he taught me how to slide down the pole. Other firemen there were Joe Nonneman, John Esslinger, Nowey Neal and Bill Vandegrift. They had quite a time there and they really could cook up some delicious stuff.

Wonder when the building to the east lost its corner window?
Must have been a front row seat to the trains going by!!

Ya gotta love those cheesy window coverings they put on that old fire station at some point. Interesting to see there was a Cities Service station on the Mel-O-Cream lot in 1950.
