Last week, our family decided to plan a quick getaway to the shore as our last hurrah for the year. As you read this, I’m either on my way or already in Rehoboth, enjoying a few days of R&R!<\/p>\n

In honor of me taking a mini-vacation, today’s Ask Joan features questions I could really use your help with. Care to oblige, if I promise to share a couple fun photos when I get back?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

What’s inside<\/h4>\n

1. Wall to Wall Sound and Video
\n2. Memories of Ream’s Stationery Store
\n3. Gruver’s pharmacy’s location in 1950s
\n<\/p>\n

1.<\/b><\/font> Wall to Wall Sound and Video. Was that the name of the store that was on Route 30 where Old Country Buffet, etc., now are?
\n– Kip<\/i><\/p>\n

Sadly, I’m pretty sure I remember Wall to Wall – or at least their commercials – but I can’t place a location at all! For some reason I had them in mind on the other side of Route 30, where there were at various times also a paint store, a mattress store and so on, but that’s just a vague thought, nothing concrete!<\/p>\n

Someone want to help set Kip and me on the right path?<\/p>\n

2.<\/b><\/font> Does anyone remember Ream’s Stationery Store on W. Market St. across from Farmer’s Market? After Ream’s there was a gym owned by Jules Bacon, a former Mr. America.
\n– Bern Bevenour<\/i><\/p>\n

Would love to find some memories of Ream’s (which is a great name for a stationery store, by the way!) for Bern; anyone who has any to share, please comment!<\/p>\n

3.<\/b><\/font> Where was Gruver’s Pharmacy located in York in the 1950s?
\n– Pat Seager<\/i><\/p>\n

The only Gruver’s I’m familiar with deals in baked goods, not prescriptions, so I’d love any info you might have for Pat!<\/p>\n

Got any questions? Ask Joan<\/a> using the form at right. I’ll attempt to answer them in a future “Ask Joan” column on this blog. I get a large volume, but I will feature three each week and answer as many as possible!<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
