We used to run down to The Inn to buy candy after Jr. High let out, before the school bus arrived to take us home. Great place. Is it still there?

There used to be a gas station there and a repair shop and you would drive in at an angle. The Inn was located in a small room beside the station.

The Texaco station was across E. Brady street from The Inn Confectionary. The Texaco was operated by a man named Jim, but I don't recall the last name. The Inn was owned by Wendell Campbell (Pop) and his wife affectionately called Mom Campbell. The owners lived in the apartment above the store. I worked there as a high school student for a few years and thoroughly enjoyed working for Mom and Pop Campbell.

Great spot for lunch or for hanging out after school or on weekends. I loved their vanilla malt milkshakes and the vanilla phosphates during the mid-50's.

Mom and Dad Sutton ran the place.

Mom and Pop Campbell owned and operated "The Inn" for years and lived above in the apartments. I worked there for a couple years in late 50's early 60's. The Texaco station was across Brady Street from the Inn.

I clogged the toilet up one time I was in there.

I got a quarter every Sat. to spend there, very exciting. :) A magical place to me. I always ordered a coke, which they put in a paper cone inside a metal cup-holder - crazy! I was positively cosmopolitan. And I was big on comic books then too. Simpler days, bigtime.

St. Mary St. was where I lived during my teen years in Butler. Between the two O'Brien families.

They had to pinball machines in that gas station. A nickel a game, a dime would get you two and a quarter would get you three.

I lived in a sleeping room near there. I got tired of hamburgs, hot dogs, etc. I would go to The Inn for a chipped ham sandwich on bread with lettuce and mayo.
