The Candy Store Photo


I thought I would take the photo into Photoshop and see if I could bring out any details. Not much there, but you can see some of the store more clearly.

Walker and nora Patterson Store



Mary Patterson found this pic of the old "candy store" As you see, it is from the uphill side with the old High School in the middle distance. Look closely and you will see the two pumps that stood at the edge of the sidewalk and a more modern pump back against the store. I had forgotten about the little storage bldg/ice house on the uphill side til I saw this pic.
I wish we had a head on view, but this is all we could find. dfc

LET'S KEEP CV MEMORIES BLOG GOING

In the past,I would regularly check the CV blog to see what new things had been posted. Now I only check it occasionaly because not much is being posted. I assume that mnay of you past readers and contributors are doing the same. LET'S DONT'T LET THE CV BLOG FADE AWAY. To many it's the only remaining connection to past schoolmates, acquaintances and experiences to that great little town in Kansas. Because we can't think of any additional memories we feel would be of interest to others dosen't mean there aren't many other items that can't be posted. What we do know is about ourselves. I for one would be interested in learning about your life after graduating from CV High. What do you chose to do; where did you go to college; when did you get married; about your family; what jobs did you have; where have you lived; what interesting experiences you have had; what trips and places have you been; what achievments have you accomplished that you are proud of, etc. Each reader and past contributor has had interesting life experiences that others would enjoy learning about. It dosen't have to be in one posting, but could be spread out over several segments of your life. SO CV BLOGGERS LET'S KEEP THE CV CONNECTION GOING.

Candy Store

Who can give me some information on the little candy store that used to be across the street from what is now the high school gym? I believe Pat Patterson's parents owned and operated the store. I remember buying candy there when I was a kid on my way to or from grade school but I don't remember much about the store. Seems like you could buy a lot of candy for 5 or 10 cents.
I guess they also sold grocery items but I don't remember them, I must of only been interested in the candy.

A picture of the store would really be great.
