Rax Fast Food, then there was an Italian place where Rax was (which is now DQ).
There was a different restaurant (or two?) where Four Seasons is now (which is now also closed).
There used to be a different walk-up only DQ where Brenner Car Credit is now.
Papa John's used to be gas station/convenience store.
I think the bowling alley was where Wal-Mart is now? I can't remember the name either.
And let's not forget Rolling Green Amusement Park!!

I think the name of the bowling alley was Bowl-More. The concrete slab of it is still behind the Klean mist car wash
I know this is in town but Lynn's Market and The Pepper Tree were at the place where West Coast Video is now.

The Big Wrangler was originally a Bonanza. I think it was built in the late '60s.

I can't remember what all was in Kinnys after they closed.

The Uni-Mart was where Pappa Johns is. Rita's was at first "Time Markets" and then was a "Coastal Mart."

The NuWay Drive-in was the on the present Wal-Mart site. Bowl -Mor was in the immediate vicinity. Bol-Mor wasn't there very long until it burned down.

Here are some:

Carrols (was where the Burger King was)

All the Carrols turned into Burger Kings. The Carrols Corp. web site used to have a corporate history on it but I couldn't find it. You can see the old logo and current info here though: Carrols Restaurant Group, Inc. - Investor Relations

The Holiday Inn - before Down Under, Maggie's Mason Jar (beer was served in a mason jar)

[Biff-Burger]

Biff-Burger! Who said Biff-Burger? Yum Yum, Super Biff with Cheese!

To reminisce some more, check out the Original Biff-Burger Website at The Original Biff-Burger Drive-In ! I even have a section on the Hummel's Wharf Biff-Burger location.....

See you there!
