Looking back at the East Lake Stores in the 1960's


Jack Olvey Paint Store (not sure of spelling) is where we bought our paint supplies. And The Variety Store had everything, I would ride my bike over to east lake and always go to The Variety Store to buy candy, bubblegum cards, kites and other junk, and then ride over to a 7-11 type store near the Fire Department and get a bottle of Mountain Dew, most of the time is was a Coca-Cola, but Mountain Dew just came out.

The correct spelling of Jack's last name is Olvey. Jack also owned the Hickory Hut Restaurant across the street.
