Some of the businesses housed in this long-standing structure have included Shakey’s Pizza Parlor (pictured circa 1980), Bijou Furniture Outlet, a black and white shop for casino apparel, the state Department of Employment, Lou Pierini’s Gold & Pawn, and others.

The building now houses Tep’s Villa Roma (and weddings) plus Pierini’s continuing business.

Aside from the facelift and remodeling of about 10 years ago, gone are the overhead poles and wires. This provides an improved street view.

At far left in these photos, the Shell service station has converted into Ski Run Liquors.
