April 6, 2013

A number of area businesses promoted through yard signs around Culver will soon have to remove those signs, or pay hefty fines as a consequence, according to Culver's plan commission as discussed at last week's meeting of the Culver town council.

CULVER HISTORY CORNER

In our last installment of this “virtual” walk through Culver -- which began with the downtown area -- we strolled west on Jefferson Street, meandering further from what’s typically considered the downtown business district. However, there are now, and have been for much of the 20th century, several businesses along that corridor into Culver from the outside world.

Just across the alley to the west of our last stop (today’s CVS Pharmacy), we come to what current Culverites know of as Hammer’s Garage, at 215 W. Jefferson.
