TOILETS: Bill Moore of Bradford remembers another public restroom that used to be in the city.

There used to be a bandstand in East Bradford in a park at the corner of Welch Avenue. The restroom was underneath the bandstand, much like the bandstand restroom that had been in Veterans Square.

Bill referred to Fran Rovito’s recent description of the Veterans Square restroom as “dark, damp, and creepy” and said the East Bradford restrooms were about the same.

“They weren’t anything to brag about,” Bill recalled.

ELEVATORS: If you were around Bradford in the ’40s and ’50s, you might have seen Rocco Camas’ brother Jack operating the elevator, but not in the Odd Fellow Building as we said yesterday. He worked in the Hooker Fulton Building.

Speaking of elevators, Pastor Ted Benson wondered: Who had the first elevator in town? How many of them were there?

We’d be curious to know, too.

Pastor Benson grew up in Erie, and remembers seeing elevator operators — some of them in uniform — in various stores there.

In 1949, he also had his first escalator ride.

He recalled, “My family had taken me to the New York World’s Fair,” which is where he rode the escalator.

Were there ever any escalators in Bradford?

We’ve had several calls about the town’s elevators this week, so you haven’t heard the last on the topic.

But what Pastor Benson was really calling about was to share this thought:

“You know how we say ‘No two snowflakes are alike’? When you sit eating popcorn, how many of those are identical?”

Like snowflakes, all the popped popcorn kernels are different.

“Just as all people are different,” he said.
