I might be an easy guess this week, or not. Nevertheless, I resided on Main Street and was a popular place to shop back in the early 1900s. The two young men in front of me are displaying some wares, and the storefront behind them was the official Sherwin-Williams paint supplier in town. Next door was a furniture store that carried the latest and greatest looks for the day; today those same pieces would be valuable antiques. Ready for your challenge? I won’t make you name me (the building), but I insist you name the cross streets at this popular corner. Where was I?
