Anyone remember the Home Hardware business on Main Street in the Utt Building? This photo, likely from the 1950s or 1960s, shows the building and what appears to be a jeweler located to the left in the photo. If you have any memories, please share below.

Although the field is still there and the building intact, it has been years decades since crowds like this gathered at then Salem College for football. This photo, from the 1988 Salem football program, shows Catalano Memorial Stadium, which was dedicated in honor of Don Catalano in November of 1973. The complex was listed in the program as being able to host 2,800 fans.
