Yes, on East Pine. I think is the street-at the end of the street was the old Cadillac dealership and West Brothers (later Roadway) Trucking. Across from Central Battery was Komp Equipment.

I remember very well Central Battery For decades they kept the Cities Service green exterior. Everything about Central Battery screamed "service station". They had several pumps in a recessed fueling bay.
Unfortunately, Central Battery was torn down, as well as several other buildings on Pine St.
Exactly. It was almost like a dark hole. Mr. Charlie Bell could fix anything. My friend's father owned N&H electronics, which was about 2 doors down. This was in the 70's. The old Barq's distribution center was in the same block-they still had 56 Ford delivery trucks that had been mothballed for later use. They looked brand new in the late 60's and early 70's..
