JL,
Yes, there were other places where vendors came in. I remember back in the 60's when a truck arrived weekly at Sandy Point to sell vegetables and fruit. Everyone came down to the main parking lot to buy local produce. There was also an elderly gent who would stop in several times during the summer and go door to door selling beautiful cobblers aprons that his wife (or as he said "Mother") made. If I remember correctly, I think he even said her eyesight was gone, but her workmanship was beautiful. My mother and grandmother purchased several over the years. Thanks for jogging my memory.
