Re: Old Street Scenes
Jay,
Welcome aboard. I grew up in Canfield just down Rt 224 from you and we had K **** N license plates too. It was neat back then as you could tell where a car was from just the 1st and last letters. Went to Berlin Lake with neighbors and crewed on their sail boat for regattas.

Welcome here and cool old shots too...  Ditto what Sam said about Ohio plates, our's were A***C. Akron area. My Dad always said it would be neat to drive out of the area to get a differant letter combo. Do you ever go to the Friday cruise at the A&W in Boardman, or Saturday Night in Boardman ? I always pass through Berlin Center on my way out 224 to Boardman. And as I pass the sign in Canfield I always think of poor Sam stuck out in all that AZ sunshine...  Cool Stuff  Mike

Re: Old Street Scenes
Thanks for the welcome! I'm actually from Canfield too and the majority of these pics were taken in the Canfield/Ellsworth area with a few from North Jackson. All of my family is from this area and is still here.
I grew up cruising 224 and even State Street down in Salem. I still go to Boardman when I can to check out the Chili's parking lot at the mall. It has a lot more room than A&W. It's nice to meet you all. I'm glad I was directed to this place.

Re: Old Street Scenes
-------OK all you Akron area boys,,,what was the name of the drive-in on the south west side of Akron??? It was in the Barberton/Norton area (not far from Knafel, maybe?), and had some serious iron running thru it almost every night. Also, the little drive-in in Wadsworth on the west side of town right on 224??? For being in Wadsworth that little place drew some bad boys!!!.....Bill S

Hi, I'm new here but I had to join up and say that these are some of the greatest pics I've seen in a long time. I have some of my family's old photos here for you to check out. They aren't as nifty as a lot of the other ones posted here, but I thought some of you might enjoy them anyway: Edgefind -- those are some fantastic pictures, thanks ! I sure can recall the baby buggy carriages our folks had us in .... HA  Some mighty fine cars there too, great to see ......
