Melinda's Maps

More thanks to former East Haven resident, Melinda Tillie for another letter which included her hand drawn maps of  Main Street, East Haven. Melinda fondly recalls Holcombe's Drug Store and states in her letter:

'Holccombe's Drug Store was great and always a stop on the way home from Union School! They had a great old fashioned soda fountain...'

 She also commented on the Capitol Theatre and "The Farms" on N. High Street: 

'The Capitol Theater. You could go on Sat. and spend the afternoon, see at least two pictures plus the news etc - price? .25!'  

'You cannot believe the shock it was when "The Farms" up on N. High Street, Hine's Farm and Knudsen's Farm were sold. They were going to build houses there! If you drove up  N. High St. by The Farms, all you could see was the greenest grass and cows from N. High St. to over by the ridge.'

Thank you, Melinda.
