In the late 60's/early70's Stan Chemiel hopped to build a larger grocery store on the vacant land to the south of the Overlook Shopping center referenced above. The City of Dayton did not approve the zoning change and so the IGA moved to the Airway Shopping Center. The vacant store was quickly changed to the International School of Broadcasting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572205562498024454.post-70716349978547505962016-01-22T15:06:12.177-05:002016-01-22T15:06:12.177-05:00The shopping center on North Smithville originally...The shopping center on North Smithville originally housed the A&P on the left. When A&P went out of business Turpin's Auction went in. Turpin's was there until it burned down- the firewall protected the rest of the building but the Turpin's space was never rebuilt. On the opposite end of the building was Bell's Dry Cleaners. The cleaners went out of business, Warehouse Paint Center moved into the dry cleaner space, then Turpin's moved to the space vacated by Warehouse Paint Center. When Turpin's moved to Keowee Street, Burchen's Foods moved in. Back in 1955 the smaller stores in between the two anchors were a barber shop, a beauty shop and a "Sweet Shop". The Sweet Shop had an ice cream counter and soda fountain as well as selling small quantities of toiletries and novelties. After all three small businesses went out of business there were several temporary kinds of offices in those spaces but nothing lasted long. I believe that the whole building now is vacant and up for sale.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572205562498024454.post-20235180674712573292015-04-13T04:27:00.128-04:002015-04-13T04:27:00.128-04:00AAA Automotive offers an extensive range of mechan...AAA Automotive offers an extensive range of mechanical repairs on all makes and models.

If you got a shot, you got an ice cream while you were waiting for scrips. If not, you got a soda. <BR/>Across the street from the now Krogers, a plane headed for the base crashed into two houses in the late 50s. <BR/>Thanks for the memories.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572205562498024454.post-91998553718035295852008-12-04T10:44:00.000-05:002008-12-04T10:44:00.000-05:00Nice.Nice.Foreverglowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13501132044674022107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572205562498024454.post-40289976746412994162008-11-29T15:44:00.000-05:002008-11-29T15:44:00.000-05:00Birdseyes are from MSN Virtual Earth.
