Reminisce about Nanticoke

[DHESS30188]

I have many fond memories of visiting my grandparents home in Nanticoke but I was so young and unfortunately, I didn't pay much attention to anything other than the corner candy store.
I'm hoping that from my recollection someone can tell me what corner it was that I always walked to from their house....does any of this sound familiar to anyone??
They lived on Broad St. somewhere and if I walked a very short way I came to a brick firehall building on the corner of the next street. On the opposite corner was a park but we weren't allowed to cross the road.
If you rounded the corner by that fire dept. building there was a little store that sold candy, comic books, soft drinks, etc. as well as other grocery items and newspapers. I'm still looking through old photos and hope to find an envelope or something with my grandma's address on it but i am so curious to know where this is!
Also, someone here may remember my grandfather, Stanley Wasilewski. He taught at the high school for 20 or so years in the late 20's or early 30's maybe and then went to teach at Bucknell college in 1945. He was a mathematics professor and was the one who built the scale model of the college that was on display in the area. I did find an article about a fire that destroyed his office at Bucknell.
His brother, Charles, or, as I knew him "Uncle Charlie" also had a store that sold a myriad of things. My only memory of him is that he owned "Uncle Charlie's Store", and I'm sure that wasn't the actual name of it! lol
If anyone has any ideas about any of this could you please email me.

I love researching old Nanticoke but I'm afraid I've hit a brick wall!
Thanks very much!

Boy all the memories! The Leader Store was the place where they used to put the money in canisters and it would be sent upstairs to the cashier. I can still picture it. My mom and I used to walk from Washington St. down to town every week to the stores.
I also loved Fullers Candy Store. It closed I think in the 90's.
Yes I meant Carroll's. Just spelled it wrong.
My husbands cousin's uncle was the owner of Sanitary Bakery. They made my wedding cake. Went there almost all my life. Before that went to Simms Bakery on Market St. till they closed.
There were so many pizza places in Nanticoke. I went to Marty's and then Stuccio's. Nardozzo's was on Main St.
My cousin Danny's wife worked as a secretary at WNAK.
I also remember the vocational school on Washington St. Lived across the street from it. All us kids used to play there. Was sorry I never took a picture of it. Now apartments are there.
Anyone out there graduate from Nanticoke H.S.? Anyone grow up on the east side of town? I lived there for 40 years. Miss the place.
