There is still an upholstery shop downtown, at least last time I paid attention, it is right beside the library on Central.

Does anyone remember a soda shop where the parking garage is downtown? My aunt was talking about it, but when I asked my dad he did not remember it.

whitlocks was the first owned by geo and helen. the people that worked there were bob and frank maxwell, who started there own shop and still in business,art stepp who still in business at 88years old at broadway and vinyard,also joe davis who has little shop facing central. the reason i know this to be true is my aunt that raised me worked there.

Where is the parking garage? Were they talking about the old Root beer Barrel that was once where the old bus station used to be, on main between 11th and 12th?
There were soda fountains in Hooks, Haags and in the old bus station on Central, but I can't think of any soda shops except the Root Beer Barrel behind the Union Bldg. But then time plays tricks with me sometimes.
