Main Street

It's funny, when I first starting doing this. I thought there was nothing on main street. Now I see there is definitely more than I thought. I'm ready to move on and yet I still have more main street to show. This house has seen a lot of changes. When I was growing up I don't remember what color it was painted, I think white. I was glad to see it painted. It was exciting to see an ordinary house being transformed into such a colorful beauty. It no longer blends in. It stands out and it definitely made a difference to Main Street. It also reminds me that this town does have a history.

Yes, it is just an orthodontist office, but where it stands there once was a big brick building that housed the Hearthstone Pub. The bar was a dive when I was a teenager (well from what I'm told it was) and was torn down a few years ago. Before it was the Hearthstone Pub it was a Banquet Hall and I can't recall the name. Another mystery for me to uncover.

There is still a Bar on Main Street. There has been since I can remember, and at one time, my Dad's family owned it, although I don't know much about that. I keep finding that there is so much for me to learn.
