Advance Auto parts is closing 700 stores nationwide.

****! Make that 101 and Mtka Blvd! (I should really be paying more attention to my job I guess....)

If memory serves the garage across the street was called Ty Abel's, and where Neil's was is now Snuffy's Malt Shop.

I grew-up north of Ridgedale, on Plymouth Road, and I still refer to 394 as Hwy 12.
My friend worked at the gas station just east of the Champion, most of the time they just walked over for parts.

I grew up near Glen Lake, and yeah, it will always be 12 to me too.

The HQ was just to the east of the picture, a little past (and still in) the trees.
