Looking north on Mishawaka’s Main St, near Third St, NOW and THEN in the 1950’s ish when the legendary Ball Band rubber factory, later known as Uniroyal, dominated the skyline.

Looking at the northeast corner of Main and Mishawaka looking north NOW and THEN in the 1930’s when streetcars dominated area streets and a Kroger was in a beloved building that still stands today.

Standing in a liquor store parking lot looking at Mishawaka Ave in River Park NOW and THEN when it was a service station parking lot.

The building across the street housed the River Park branch of the @sjcplib for years prior to moving to its location just down the street.

Who remembers Lincolnway Foods?

Anyone know what was in the building originally?
