Presque Isle, ME. That A&P is now Star City IGA.

Haines MFG in the background.

It is the apartment building it is still there

Set the location.

South Main Street Presque Isle.

Presque Isle swimming pool left side in back- see the slide in the water- now just a empty pool to be removed

I spent all my summers at this pool and across the street at the Rec center. You would check into a little bathhouse on the right where you got a wire basket to hold your things.
Each basket had a numbered pin you would clip onto your bathing suit. In high school I was a lifeguard there. Mid-pool there was a boardwalk where we would guard the kiddie pool. On the left was a lighted ballpark with evening summer games between teams from local towns. So much fun!
