Thanks for your patience while the March 25 video was receiving some tweaks. The map handout using the O.W. Gray map and several iterations of the Winchester Sanborn maps have been incorporated into the slideshow to help you hone in on the neighborhood of each site being discussed. Audience questions were unfortunately not picked up well in the recording and were not included. Also, Sandra would like to apologize to Bo’s Belly Barn for calling their establishment a Sheetz. The original gas station that replaced the Hollis House was, however, an Atlantic station as can be seen in the photo.
