Description: Photos on a DVD from Pablo Ocampo from 2008. One of the pictures is of Polly Bunker's shed, this shed used to belong to Sadie Bulger and was located between the Cox house and Eva Gallean's house. Sadie Bulger used to sell small things like pastries, soda, and snacks here. The narrow part of the building used to face towards the road. In order to get her to come out to buy something you had to knock on her door, this always made Mickey feel like he had to buy more than a nickel's worth! Phil thinks the shop closed sometime around 1950, and Mickey believes it closed sometimes around WWII. All the photos are artistic and would make a good slideshow. [show more]
