Message: Harry...Taylor Auto Supply was located on the south east corner of 12th and French streets. The auto store was one story brick, nice looking newer construction. My father worked there from the 30,s to the 60,s, I do not have a picture. There were branches in Delaware, and Maryland and Penna.

Message: Here's some unpleasant news for all you food lovers, Frankies on Union Street closed in April and both Post Houses closed about a month or so ago.

Dan Casey of WAMS died late in July at the age of 81. He was one great DJ.
