Other Places to Remember, II
posted by Frankjm3 Yesterday, 2:17 PM EDT Watch We need to remember Frank Mayer's Standard Oil station and Danny William's Cities Service station, also Don Brown's Sinclair station and Harley Baker's DX station by the bridge. Another old timer business was Featherston's Old Stone Mill, and can't forget Sauerberg's grocery store. Also, how about Max's Walgreen with a real soda fountain and the Red Hen restaurant and bar. How many other Whitewater retail landmarks can you remember.

Anonymous Friday, 8:32 AM EDT The name Containia's should be spelled Catania. Jake and Hazel owned the store and they and their family lived on Cottage St. The family was also very musical and Jake also played in a local band. It may have even been his band. Not sure.

"The name Containia's should be spelled Catania. Jake and Hazel owned the store and they and their family lived on Cottage St. The family was also very musical and Jake also played in a local band. It may have even been his band. Not sure."

On the original list the name Brenner Market should be Benner's. Eddie and Ruth owned the store at the Five Points and they lived just across the street. Which was a good thing as I don't believe they ever had a car. Reply Quote and Reply Delete this reply out of found this comment valuable. Do you find this comment valuable?

This is probably the first time this has ever been revealed, but when there was an explosion and fire at the home of one our family members, it was Jake and Mrs. Catania who were the first to respond with boxes of clothing for the family.

Subject: The night we lost "Old Main" From Linda Loomer: Hello, I am wondering if there have been any stories about the fire and what do I do to read them? Also, I am finding very little information on the web site, so far the only thing I have been able to locate is about the Busy Bee, are there other stories and if so how do I access them. Thanks

A response to Linda - A review of the site indicates one story regarding that sad night in Whitewater's History and if anyone has other memories of that event please go to the Whitewater History Page (Click here) and share them with us. To get to that story or any historical memory do go to the History page and click on any of the topics, in this case click on events and then click on Old Main Burns Down.
In the years by decade area click on 1960s the for some other general memories. Thanks for visiting www.whitewaterhomecoming.com
