[PRCo] Re: Verona Road at Frankstown 1936

[ArtS32 at aol.com]

About 1948 Laketon Heights Shopping Center or Laketon Shopping  Center was 
built. My uncle had a bake shop there, by the name of Karnes  Bake Shop. At 
the split there was either a Gulf station or an Esso. Cannot  remember the 
name of the station, but they were there for a long time. If you  were 
inbound the station would be on the left side of Frankstown Rd  and Laketon Road 
would be just before the station.

There  was nothing in 1946-1949 between Frankstown Road and the point  
where  the three roads split.    The newest thing in the area was an   
Ashland gas station on Frankstown at Coal Hollow which was immediate   
post war.
