This area view, courtesy of J. David Allen & Son Photography and from Buchart-Horn Inc.\/BASCO Associates’ files, shows the York County Shopping Center in the late 1950s. Background posts: Before Geno’s made news in Philly, Gino’s headlined in York<\/a>, Bury’s memories far from buried<\/a> and Sears, York County Shopping Center in the middle of things<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last post<\/a>, we showed off a piece of J. David Allen and Son’s<\/a> photographic handiwork from the air – a shot of White Oak Park.
\nLast time we posted an aerial shot from those photographers – and a photo of the York County Shopping Center<\/a> – it drew several comments.
\nFor example, Bill Landes wrote:<\/p>\n

What a great photo, lots of memories. Across the street from the Shopping Center entrance(I think) was the first Gino’s 15cent Hamburger Joint. I remember Gino Marchetti and Alan Ameche signing autographs there at the grand opening…1960 or 61??<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Gene Schenk from Buchart-Horn Inc.\/BASCO Associates, who supplied the original Allen photo of the shopping center, e-mailed another photo with landmarks marked by numbers, which will aid locating landmarks.
\nHere’s the key:.. .<\/p>\n


\n1. The Sears store<\/a> was replaced by a new Giant.
\n2. “Joe the Motorist’s Friend” was replaced by Lowe’s and
\nOffice Max.
\n3. The old Food Fair is now Red Lobster.
\n4. W.T. Grant’s location became Fashion Bug and Ben
\nFranklin Crafts.
\n5. Eastern Boulevard and Northern Way did not exist in 1958.
\n6. That part of present-day Haines Acres<\/a> was then a farm.
\n7. The Wal-Mart shopping center <\/a>and associated buildings did not exist. The York Mall, transitioning into Wal-Mart, opened in 1968. (Can anyone identify this particular building?)
\n8. Playland pool <\/a>and skating rink are visible in the photo.
\n9. A trailer park developed around an old horse racing track.
\n10. The former location of Nello Tire is visible and so is a
\nlarge house that became part of Barley’s Autumn House.<\/p>\n
