My first Elementary School, West Riverside! I always loved that school, and hated moving from Riverside to Lakeshore Area & going to Bayview lol. From a beautiful 2 story school, to an ugly brick 1 level school (mumbles). But, I lived lol.

What's the story on the tiny newstand at Five Points next to the restaurant patio?
It has been there forever. A wide variety of magazines and out of town newspapers. And it is bigger than it looks, extending back a pretty good distance. Back in the day, I think it had a 'special room' in the back for 'special' publications. |

But if you went on to Lake Shore Junior High (Middle), it had 2 floors. Very strange - Bayview Elementary is on Lake Shore Blvd. Lake Shore Middle is on Bayview Road and their sports fields back up to each other seems they got it backwards |

That school is 3/4 portables, and the 6th grade building was so cramped. I went to Lee High for High School, and the architecture was reminscent of West Riverside in a way, so I enjoyed it  |

All true, and as I remember from decades ago.
The selection of magazines, books and probably what lay behind the beaded curtain
was much better back then.
It is some sort of optical illusion, architectural space-time phenomena that the interior is somehow bigger than it should be.

I use to belong to a model railroad club located above Owens Pharmacy at Park and Margaret. For fun each Friday night we'ed grab some chairs and sit out in front and watch the numerous near collisions by drivers trying to negotiate that 5 way intersection. Those on Park would stop and didn't have to and some on Margaret would not stop and should have. But just people watching was a blast. It is such an eclectic area. I sure do miss those Friday nights.

That intersection can very tricky if you do not live there.

Cars on Park have the right of way and if the idiots on Margaret get in the way, well, they have less car for their errors!

Petersons - what was up with that smell, in the place, even before they closed it had a putrid smell of, like, rancid mothballs maybe? But it was a blast to shop in, especially for Halloween stuff. On to better smells, anyone remember Goode's Bakery in 5 Points?

Goode's? You bet! All of the family birthday cakes came from there and Mrs. Goode was always a soft touch for the kids who would come in a wheedle her for a "spoiled" cinnamon bun.
Now that the weather has cooled off, you can sit on the patio at Hovan's and watch that intersection. You can get bruised by the forehead slaps you give yourself when you watch some of the clueless try to decide what to do there. Great fun.
