M_Sable Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 I remember stuff visually, but have a bad memory for names. Was wondering if anyone could fill in the blanks: 1. Before the Hooper Road overpass was put in over Main Street (17C) there was a lumber yard there.....burned down....began with a "B" maybe? 2. To get to Main Street you could cross the tracks on I think it was Pearl Street and there was an old general store there on Main Street that was great for kids....can't remember the name. 3. Bottom of Lott Street, corner of Hooper Road....same kind of old store....Charlies??? Maybe? I think it became a dentist's office. 4. Before the Struble Road Dam was built, we used to hike up to a place that I think was called "Froggy Pond". Anyone remember that? 5. Pig Stand? Was that by Main & North? 6. Food joint on Hooper near Brink Street.....by the car wash. I think Ted Valenta owned it..... Thanks. My brothers and I were at a funeral recently, and it was mistaken for an Alzheimers support group.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyrfan Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 1) Beckwith Lumber 2) Michael's (I think) - I believe that if you kept going across Pearl Street you would find Seeley's where kids went for lunch 5) right before the split where North St branches off Main street - have been several diners there in recent years 6) Chuckwagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyrfan Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Just to clarify - Whipples was on Main Street where Burger King is located today. Beckwith was located approximately where the Hooper Road overpass currently sits, right next to the railroad tracks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 I remember the car dealership and Whipples, but for the life of me i cannot picture Hooper Rd. crossing the railroad tracks. Any pictures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stray Cat Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 I can remember the Drive in theater and the Henry's Hamburger stand that were located near where the Hooper Road exit is now. Also the Carol's Hamburger stand that was on the other side of where Hooper connects. Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take But by the moments that take our breath away.

Stray Cat Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 Here is a photo of the Henry's Hamburger stand that was next to the current Endwell Rug Store. In fact you can see it in the background of the picture. The drive in theater was on the other side of the rug store.

Mr. Met Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 What is the origin of the name “Endwell” anyhow? I know how JC, Binghamton and Endicott got theirs but never Endwell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooper Road did meet with Main Street before the overpass was built...I vaguely remember it. I think that "Endwell" was the name of an EJ shoe, but I may be wrong...

Back in Black Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Any idea what years the burger joint and the drive in were there until? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Independent Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 The picture of Henry's Hamburgers is around 1962 or 1963 i believe it closed that location around 70 or shortly after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 http://cinematreasures.org/theaters/14709 Located in Endwell to the east of Endicott and west of Binghamton, NY. The Tri-City Drive-In was opened August 21, 1946 with Rita Hayworth in “Cover Girl” and Roy Rogers in “Bells of Rosarita”. It was Owned by (FABH) Neil Hellman, TriCity Amusement Co., Inc. Had a capacity for 600 cars. It was demolished in the 1960’s to make room for Route 17. A Hess gas station is located near the former entrance.
