The famous Ellison's Cafe and the former Ellison's Manufacturing building. I worked at both as a teenager fresh out of high school. I remember the day when my great uncle Lyn Ellison had the gold lettering painted on the door of the cafe. When I worked there we were still using the old soda fountain to mix pop and a cash register that was almost a hundred years old! I'll never forget the time we hired a male belly dancer to come on my cousin Cookie's birthday, Uncle Lyn was NOT impressed!!
Not sure if I remember Ellison's (the General Store?) but my grandparents were the Kjellstrom's, who had the clothing shop just next to the gas station.
I remember The old pharmacy on main street and shopped at the clothing store of your Grandparents. I lived behind the post office across the street from the feed mill. I used to walk behind it thru the old coal sheds to to my friends house.
My dad owned the The SPOT back in the late 60's. It was a teenager hangout with pool tables & a jute box. On Saturday nights in the summer, my dad would allow local BANDS come and play. Dad let the kids paint the inside and gave them right to choose their own colors. It was black - purple and orange.

We lived in Hebron in the '50's. My father, Steve Stoikoff, taught English & Social Studies in the high school & directed the Sr. Class play. My mother opened a children's clothing store in our home on RTE. 173. My friend, Mary Jo Begun & I had a circus to raise money for the new kindergarten.
It WAS a Sinclair Station. And the Bake House was the Laundry Mat. The building behind the gas station was Kjellstom's Dry Goods. We used to get our Golden Goose Shoes there complete with a plastic golden egg filled with goodies.
The front of this building is now a restaurant. But as a little girl in the sixties, I remember my mom taking my dad his lunch here when, I believe, it was a Sinclair (green dinosaur mascot) gas station.
Thank you for your pictures of Hebron. Although we moved away when I was 8, I will always call Hebron my hometown. I am a descendant of the Ellison and DeYoung families. Thank you again for your wonderful pictures!!
