High School


This is a great photo of the high school building. How many details can you notice that are a little different today? The windows are all 9-panes on top. Three doors for the front entrance. Lots of space for bicycle parking too!

Theater & White Shop


This is a photo of the George Movie Theater and The White Shop Cafe. Looks like the theater building was already in pretty tough shape at the time this photo was taken.

South Main Street


This photo looks north down main street. The farthest building south on the east side reads "Ruppelt General Merchandise." I like the 2nd story porch that covers the sidewalk on the building just north of the current Lichtenberg Hardware.

Central Baptist Church


This is a very nice b/w photo of Central Baptist Church. The church has undergone some nice updates in the past couple years, but architecturally it looks much the same today. Can any of you car experts identify the white station wagon? I'm guessing it's an early to mid 50's model???

Good Sam Groundbreaking


This photo shows the groundbreaking ceremony that was held prior to construction of the brand new Good Samaritan Center in George. The photo was dated May 19, 1968. How many of these folks do you recognize? Special thanks to Agnes K. for finding this picture!

July 4th 2009


OK -- so this isn't much of a flashback. Just from last Saturday night. What a nice crowd that was on hand for the Tonic Sol-fa Concert, Pie Auction, and Fireworks Display at the school.

GSB Float


This photo of the George State Bank float was marked 1984 - the year of the Centennial. Do you know who the riders were?
