"MORE PAINESVILLE TRIVIA?"
It seems people like hearing about Painesville past. I will add afew more for people to think about. Feel free to jump in with your own trivia, as I found out it wasn't W.T. Grants but G.G. Grant Department store. W.T. Grants was a department store that must have been in the Painesville Shopping Center. I found an old ad for Lake Rambler that gave the address as 70 N.St. Clair St.
Try these;
Its 1963 you are a Painesville Policeman what make and color is your cruiser?
Its 1960 you are a Lake County Deputy Sheriff what are you driving?
Treon Sunshine Dairy where was their processing plant, and what color were their trucks?
Browns Furniture Store was at 27 N. Stae St. what was the furniture store at 45 N. State St.
The date of April 13,1957 what makes this date so important to Lake Erie College?
There is an empty lot on the southeast corner of Jackson and N. St.Clair St. what did they sell and what brand?
One more, describe what was "Frizzeles Freeze" and where you could purchase it?

This is the kind of stuff JT. would do? What gives?
45 N.STATE-Furniture Land
JACKSON & ST.CLAIR
TV-ZENITH I THINK
APRIL 13, 1957 THE FIRE AT MEMORIAL HALL,
THE MANAGER OF THE WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH CO.CHARLES DINGLEY, CAME IN AT 3AM AND STARTED SENDING OUT TELEGRAMS TO COLLEGE STUDENTS FAMILIES TELLING THEM THEY WERE ALRIGHT.
Your right about the fire at LEC that caused between $700,000 to a million dollars in damage, [1957 dollars.]
Sorry 45 N. State was Watkins Furniture.
Your right about the T.V. store but I think they sold a brand called Curtis Mathis and Kuntz?
The police cars were Plymouths and painted a dark grey.
The sheriff cars were regular black and white but were Rambler Ambassadors.
Treon Dairy was on the river side of S.State St. a very small building. south of Washington St. trucks were dull green with silver trucks across the street in that brike builbind with the large doors was the Sealtest Dairy depot, milk was distrubuted but not processed there.
Could I have more information about the fire at the college was anyone killed or injured? What was the location of the building, the cause.
If you want any info. about anything, just google
it is so easy just type in Lake Erie College fire painesville ohio there were more then one so look up the date April 13, 1957
I'm thoroughly enjoying this trip down memory lane....here's a contribution from a Lake County girl that calls P'ville home now...what was the name of the dairy on Chester St (next to Fasson) and who founded it? What year did they come to Painesville and from where? And what happened to it? I knew alot of people that worked there in the day and it was a great place with lots of wonderful people...I know there is a retired milkman out there...give everyone else a chance first OK?
