Anyone know when it was taken down? I saw a photo of this church in a 1958 issue of the Times Press. I remember having read somewhere that Ralph Plumb belonged to this congregation.

That one is a bit before my time. I vaguely remember a church where Bulldogs is at. I remember that Sandy's(predecessor to Hardees) came before McDonald's to town. Was Sandy's our first fast food chain in town? I know we had A&W(Woodys) and Dog & Suds, but they were both drive-in chains. I remember that Pontiac had a Mr. Quicks before we had Sandy's. It's kind of too bad that McDonalds has wiped out all the local competition. It seems like Wal-Mart is doing the same to retailers too. Anyway, back on topic, that Church was mostly before my time, sorry Alton. According to Streator: 125 Years a Celebration, this congregation merged with Park Presbyterian in 1967. The old mainline churches were hitting the skids even back in those days. |

What business was at the location of the veterinarian shop, on Bloomington Street? That was Dixie's old location. Drive-in. It was Morkey's Bar(?) after Dixies & before the vets too. |
