Tink Howe Place across the road was Stackhouse's famous for frenchfries

believe this was Bobby McKay's house. Tink's was just to the right of the picture. Elbridge Stackhouse's chevy pickup is parked next to Stack's snacks. Between 1960 and 1968 I peeled a few tons of potatoes and cut them into fries. Carlton and Dottie Stackhouse live there now and I believe have moved the "dog house". Hot dogs were .20, hamburgs were $.30, fries were .20 and .40, pop (remember Fitz's) was a dime, and milk shakes and awful-awfuls (think they were .30) were part of the order. No adding machine or cash register. And sales tax was 3%.

I grew up in that house. It was the McKay house until 1972 when Delmas Hastey bought the property he owned it till 2022 when it was sold to a gentleman from New Jersey.
