I had given up on these, figuring that if they were income from an illegal moonshine business they would be deliberately obscure. Scoobie’s eyes lit up. “I’m going to play some of these.” “Play…”? “The lottery.” He pulled a small notebook from his knapsack and began writing down several lines of numbers. I left him to his copying and went to the reference section to look at some of the business directories from the 1920s. I plopped them down on the table next to Scoobie and opened the directory from 1928. Bakery at the Shore was at 227 C Street. I thought for a minute. The 200 block was between Main Street and Seaside Avenue, but it seemed unlikely that the building was still there. I placed the directories back on the shelves and, after saying goodbye to Scoobie, I drove slowly across C Street. The building at 227 C Street looked old enough to have been standing in the 1920s.
