Click the photo to "step into the past". You'll see the CutRate Market, coffee shop, the old Princess Theater with the bike rack in front, and if you look closely, you'll see Charlie King's popcorn stand!   You can also see a man sitting on the loafers' bench in front of the pool hall (look above bike rack), and an empty loafers' bench south of Charlie King's popcorn stand. The image takes a while to load, so be patient, and be sure to scroll up/down & to the right!
