Cardinal Fan Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Does anyone recognize what block of W Washington Ave that is? It looks pretty level and most of Washington is hilly. I don't recognize most of the houses, but they are still probably there. I'm thinking the 700 or 800 block maybe. The picture says Washington Ave looking West so maybe it was taken on East Washington Ave but the shot was West, that would make more sense because of the houses in the pictures.

The picture says Washington Ave looking West so maybe it was taken on East Washington Ave but the shot was West, that would make more sense because of the houses in the pictures. I am wondering if it isn't the Highland St. side, because I live over on the other end of town and if you look west, all you see are hills going up and this shows one going down.

beavermom Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 AC Nelson was my MIL's uncle. I met him once when Andy and I were first married. He was the happiest person and very loving. Andy is always very proud when we go to Hoss's and he sees the old store sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petee Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Back when I was in 1st grade our phone number was 32-1349. No area codes either. The earliest one I can remember was 6570R2 and if you didn't know a number the operator would look it up for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigP34 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Well the picture says "Washington Ave" looking West. So that would have to mean that it was taken on the Highland Street side ... Looking towards WEST Washington .. Right? Thats what I'm gathering from it anyhow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking towards WEST Washington .. Right? Thats what I'm gathering from it anyhow You're exactly right. The picture is on East Washington Ave. Does anybody know what block of East Washington Ave this us? I don't recall any of those houses, but I'm sure they have greatly changed in all these years.

Foxfan Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Most everyone had 'party lines' which meant you shared one line with as many as 3 to 5 other families...You picked up the receiver, and you could 'listen in' to the other peoples conversations. You were careful what you said, you didn't know who was listening....Some real fights resulted, from some people hogging the line, and what was overheard...The phone bill was maybe $3.00 per month.Long distance was relatively expensive, and had to be placed by the "operator'...Before cables were made, each phone or party line had a separate wire to the nearest exchange. Which made 'private lines' much more expensive..The exchange in DuBois was on Scribner Ave, in the building behind the post office, then in the newer building on Scribner I think?..a block or so west..I think that building is still in use by the phone company..anyone know?

maggiesmom Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I would guess that is the block between Church and Stockdale Streets if you look the road ends going over a hill looking west and I think that the house on the right is still there the with that same porch but some of those yellow brick houses are gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 When I was a kid our phone number was just 4515. There were several others sharing the line, There was a lady down the hill that you always had to tell to hang the phone up because she picked it up as soon as you answered. One time my uncle called from Buffalo and Dad and Mom were in the field below the house and the lady came puffing up the road yelling Yiour brother Fran is on the phone..When it didn't quit ringing, she had answered.
