There used to be a Geter & Baker Funeral Home here.
I assume they specialized in female cremations...
Oh, and the doctor in my dad's home town was Dr. Payne, of course.

And Badcock Furniture here.
There's a place up the street called Lou's Tatoos and right below that was a sign that said "Live Bait".
I suppose they could have added "Get a tatoo, catch something"??

If it’s the one in Westchester on Lincoln, it was indeed Sids for many years. They even had it in big bold uppercase letters on the building. SIDS BABY FURNITRURE. I always thought that was strange. They changed their name to Sid & Me.
