Several pictures were also taken looking south - directly down Central Avenue from the Nameoke intersection.  This part of the main strip, which runs about two long blocks, was once an important business district in the town.  On the east side, I remember a major auto parts supplier (George Smith), an insurance agent in a corner store (Harry Vohel), Ted's Far Rockaway Ford, Klass Buick (the store front became a carpet shop after the dealer went out of business), and a liquor store - as well as many other small "Mom and Pop" stores.
