South Main Street looks pretty much the same. It's also called Route 63 and runs through the center of town.

The dairy and the gas station. Back in the day when I was a kid we called it "The Dairy" because that's what it was, primarily a place to buy milk products like milk and ice cream. But this seems to be new. The dairy is no more, a Mother Goose Grocery Store has taken its place. The gas station is still there and I see it's still a Mobil. The only major difference is the old Mobil sign was a red horse with wings. I think I like the old sign better.

More of Main Street. It's still the same.

Santinos. This is the local pizza and sub joint. This was here when I last visited. It used to be a gas station long ago. After working at Tony & Maria's Pizzeria (that was located further up Main Street) for some time while in high school then in college, Santinos opened their store and took a big bite out of Tony's business. I thought we had better food but the town couldn't support two pizza parlors. The owner of Santinos had more money so he could ride out the storm while Tony lost his shirt. True capitalism in action.
