Town and Residents
Every boy or girl in a small town gets to meet and know others in the town through their parents, friends, neighbors, or school and church activities. But the paperboy has an added advantage in getting to know the town. By passing papers every day to many if not most of the homes the paperboy gets to know residents that other children never meet. The paperboy actually gets to do business with them. He not only gets to meet them and know their names he gets to know how they live in terms of sidewalks, fences, clothes lines, porches, screen doors, dogs, and trash cans.
Before we begin an imaginary paper route a few explanatory comments are in order.
The map in front of each section lists the residents as I remember them. Some houses, residents and locations will trigger a memory or two and some will not.
The streets are titled with today’s correct names to assist the reader in locating where we are in town. When I was a kid I did not know these correct names and am not sure they even had names. To me Market Street was “Our Street”,
Mill Street was “Down by Charlie Cooper’s”,
Oberle Avenue was “Down by Charlie Kistler’s”,
County Highway 23 was “The Winchester Pike”,
Park Street was “Up by the UB Church”,
Plum Road was “The Lancaster Pike”,
Highland Avenue was “The New Addition”,
East Canal Street was either “Up by the 6% Joint” or “Up by Pierce’s Garage”,
West Canal was either “Over by Woodgeard’s Grocery” or “Over by Harry Brandt’s”,
Center Street was “Over Town”,
Carnes Road was “Out by Joe Cormany’s”
and High Street was “Route 33”.
However Beaver Street was “Beaver Street”.
I don’t know why but for us Ridgways, south was up and north was down
As I remember it the population was always quoted as being four hundred sixteen at that time.
With that being said it’s time to pass papers. So let’s get the bundle of Columbus Evening Dispatches off of the front porch, snip the wires off of the bundle, count out the necessary papers (today we need a lot of them because almost every house is going to receive one on our imaginary route), stuff them into our paper bag, get out the bicycle and head off down Our Street.
