Know your Roseville! This Dr. Berg photo (courtesy NPL) was taken in July 1961, but where?

Johnny Boy, I know where it is but I won't spoil the fun this early in the game. I'll e-mail the answer.

i do not know if it had a orange st address or a west market st address it was right where they meet ??? across the street was the mirror bar a big hangout in the 50s

John, it may say "Orange Towers", but it's the Spic and Span Diner next to the Spic and Span Cleaner at the intersection of N13th, West Market, and Orange Streets! I believe the address was Orange St. It looks like the picture was taken from in front of 597 Orange St., our home for 25 yrs. In the 50's our landlord's son, Casper or Gasper Boncina, owned the diner. The Mirror Bar was at 599 Orange St. John, now that you found the Sic and Span, have you also found a picture of the Roseville Bakery?

Correction, that's South 13th Street, not North 13th.

Marty, could you tell the story about the night you and Joe Freed cleaned out the "Pitcher's Mound Lounge?"

The billboard ad at the top of the photo is for " Flit ". I remember my father using the " Flit Gun " on those pesky mosquitoes.

Yup, that's it. I saw the aftermath of a stabbing in front of that diner back in the late 1950s. Guy was laying out there with a tablecloth stained red over him, with cops standing around kibitzing.

Yes Joe, life was never dull at 13th and Orange.
