The Woolworth`s at right closed in 1983 and Liss Pharmacy moved in and is still there. Also of note is the aluminum-clad corner portion of "Brooks"(later Sealfon`s) department store at left.

| The Strand - Circa 1938. Roth`s Strand movie theater. Theater manager Joe Gillis "dressed his doorman as The Lone Ranger and mounted him on a horse hired from a local riding academy and paraded him through the streets with a local boy dressed as Tonto the Indian...." The date is early 1938. The photo shows Gillis in ... See Morea suit and tie with lots of neighborhood kids. The main feature is "The Badman of Brimstone" with Wallace Beery. Probably an April 1938 date. (photo courtesy of Dennis Murray/Facebook)

| Short Hills Mall - pre-enclosure (1962)
A Feature News Service release from 1962 - "A `Tree full of Christmas Presents" is one of six uniquely decorated trees admired by Gretchen and Elizabeth, twin seven-year-olds, and their mother, Mrs. J.P. Zeigler, while shopping at The Mall at Short Hills. The 12-foot trees were decorated by Cecilia Staples, noted designer. Each represents Christmas past, present or future.

| For the native Summit rail fans out there, found these E-L photos on Railfan.net- taken circa 1969. In addition to the steam and diesel powered trains, one can see electric MU `wickerliners` in the train yard. Notice the old station bridge and low platforms, which disappeared in the late-80`s renovation of the station. (photo courtesy of Jeffrey Leonard/Facebook) |
