Not sure about Bob Evans but where Whole Food is now, it used to be a Fresh Fields. Unless you were asking what was before that? I think it was a pet store. Or maybe that pet store used to stand where Washington Sports Club is now.

Who was Burke named after (hint: it had to do with a donation of a right-of-way to the railroad company).

You mean this one?



Pretty much the middle of nowhere. Then again, that's about all Springfield was until post 1950...
