Second Street, Chesapeake City – Circa 1950

Here’s an east view of Second and George Streets, with the Bethel A.M.E. Church at bottom right, the Sewell house across the street, and just next to it is the one-room Colored schoolhouse. Farther up at top left is Shine Crawford’s service station. Left to right next to it is the Stubbles house, an unidentified building, Postell's store and newsstand on the corner, and across the street on the corner is Borger’s general store. In the early fifties, Postell’s corner was the favorite hangout of us teenage boys. Back then we knew everything about everything. How things changed when we got older.
