Name things you can remember in Connersville from long ago

One of the things I can remember is the lot where McDonald's and Pizza Hut now sit. I also remember the old Library and the old 5th St. School.

How about everyone else?

The old lumber yard on the fill, where the autoparts sits now.

not originally from c-ville, but i remember nickle nook on the fill, and max burger place on north western

maybe it was mac's?

Nickel Nook on the fill!!

I remember when Connersville was bigger than it is now and the city had pride now we all fight and bicker and can't and probably will never get along. Also walking downtown when the Business was down town and not in Mini malls which really stole downtown away.

I worked at a White Flash gas station in 1975/76 where Wulf's gun shop is now. Wulf for sherriff 2010!!! ;)

Going to JC Penny downtown before the beginning of each school year and in the spring to by Easter dresses for Mom, my sister and myself. Hudson House or Miller Cafeteria on Sundays after church. Taking Nickel Nook or 8th street Pizza King to my Dad for supper when he was working 2nd shift.

How 'bout good ol' J.J. Newberry on Central? Best darned sloppy joes ya ever ate! I can still see the huge soda fountain and the wooden floors! The old Bus depot and cab station..........the Fayette Auditorium(movie theater). Hell, I remember when the Hobby Shop was on Eighth Street and Shorty's Barbershop. Oh, and the Cigar store, and, uh,.........etc, etc.

That walking down town brings back memories. Back in 1958, I remember walking downtown with my parents at Christmas time. You couldn't hardly walk on the side walks, because they were so crowded. Those were the days, about 11,000 factory jobs in Connersville.
I remember at election time, cars would have loud speakers on them, hawking a certain candidate. We would go in the two headquarters and get metal campaign badges. Gas was cheap!!! Too bad all of it is gone!!

Yep, I remember when you could walk around the block and not have to know more than two languages to say hello. I remember when you could go to sleep at night with your doors open. I remember General Eisenhower. Say, what ever happened to Eisenhower? Don't hear much from him anymore.

How about Schubes Store where the Museum is now!!! The old Blue and Gray restaurant on East Fifth St,John Deere and Napiers appliances on East fifth and the allis Chalmers dealership on Fiant Street, Frenchs and Norris grocery On East Fifth and The Eastside Laundramat where the fishing shack is. Kielman Rambler where Lainharts now stands and the Standard Station where the downtown video store is.Connersville use to have 3 movie theaters downtown. The times, Vauldette and the Fayette theater. There was a lumberyard where the auto parts is on the fill. There was another lumberyard around the old central State bank parkinglot. How about the drivein theater and Firsches drive in out on 44.

Swimming pool on whitewater blvd and the a&w Rootbeer stand on 30th Street. I quit, my brain is woreout

Wow!! What was the popular drugstore across from the old High School on Grand? How about the famous Train Wreck of 1960? Gawd, I'd kill for a Nickle Nook hamburger these days!! Oh yeh, the Honda shop next door.......Randy Hunt?
Lines Record Shop.
Schlicte's Grocery.
Hilltop Grocery.
Rader's Grocery.(Formerly Crippens.....) 9th ST.
