Update!!! Connie Foley gets the Eagle Eye Award!!!

In the Comments the other day, we were talking about the location of the South Side Drug Store, and Connie pointed out it must be where Vek's is now because you can see the Bradt Hotel at the left-hand side of the shot. 

We dug out a picture of the Bradt, and that sure looks to us like the same front railing! What do you  think? 

Silbar says the Bradt stood "west of the northwest corner of Shiawassee and South LeRoy" from about 1840 until 1901. If you can see the front of the Bradt House from that view, that means South Side Drug Store must be at Vek's. Congratulations, Connie! You've got the eye of an eagle!!!
