A real estate broker neighbor gave me a letter that included old photographs and information on our immediate neighborhood. It was written by Betty Junge, who was born in 1927 in what is now his house on the 100 block of 10th Street NE.

Mrs. Junge described our neighborhood back in the 1930s and ’40s and said this building was once Read Drug Store and that it had “a pharmacy, soda fountain, magazines and things like that.” Unfortunately she didn't include any old pictures of it.
