Dick, I did not join Canonsburg Friends at Facebook yet, however, I did read some of the entries that you and Jim were sharing and I want to let you know that there were 4 Shoe Stores: Pollock's, Jackson's, S & S and Kirby's. Pollock's was at the other end of Canonsburg of which you can see in Jim's Sulkowski's painting of the Street Car and Alhambra Theater. Good Luck on your 50th Reunion!

 Dick Garboski 9:37am Apr 20th | From Facebook To dickgarbo.friends@blogger.com West Pike Street, Canonsburg PA Hi, Linda, thanks for remembering Pollacks and I sure do remember it, It was were the expensive shoes, like the Bostonian brand were sold. Hard to believe, even back then, the town could support 4 shoe stores? I guess the same could be said of the two 5 & 10s, three drug stores, two movie houses, five bars and at least seven clothing stores in the same two block area. |

Exactly! When I worked in Pittsburgh, years ago, people always asked about that great restaurant in Canonsburg called Colaizzio's on South Jefferson. We had a few good restaurants/bars for a little town now Canonsburg can hardly support one. Times change.
