This is Pike Street way before the underpass was built.I used to go into Masons Drug Store to get an ice cream cone made with Jones Ice Cream when I was real young.(1935-1936).Just behind the horse and wagon,Front Street goes to the right.Masons was on Pike Street right next to where Pike Street crossed the railroad tracks.(Courtesy of  Alice Vandermark)
This was taken from the deadend of Sussex Street.Note that clock has been added to bank and the dirt streets.(Courtesy of Alice Vandermark)
This is another picture of Joyland Dance Palace.This building later became the roller skating rink where my brother and I used to skate with some pretty ladies.(Courtesy of Alice Vandermark)
This is the footbridge across the Neversink River in Tri-States.Bob Herr and I used to take our boats down through these rapids to get to the Delaware River and we had to get out and pull the boats back up on the return trip.We also used to wade here and turn over rocks to get clippers for bass fishing.Building on left is now Blooms and Balloons Florist.Building on right is no longer there.This bridge has since been replaced.(Courtesy of Alice Vandermark)
This was the High Point Inn.This was a beautiful building but was let go over the years and was finally demolished.(Courtesy of Alice Vandermark)
