B-W Trivia Answers: What Store, What Garage, and Where?

- - - - -

The Baldwin Historical Society brings you another trivia question that delves into our area's colorful past. Pat Lombardi and Patty Woehler, co-presidents of the society, generously write the questions and provide the pictures.

Here is this week's question, er ... questions:

This picture is from around 1950.

The store sold groceries, general merchandise and many mining supplies, and the garage sold gas, did inspections and made various car repairs.

The nearby road originally went through the creek in front of the store. A bridge was constructed in 1936 so that the coal trucks could get across the creek in the winter. The bridge was removed in 1955, and the road was made to run straight as it (relatively) does today.

What was the name of the store and the garage, and where were they located?

Give us your guesses in the comments section below. We will reveal the answers on Tuesday.
