One of those stands was the one run by the Borman family, which is featured in the photos above, which appeared in the Journal back on August 29, 1972 – fifty years ago. Mrs. Mary Borman is shown in the photos weighing some produce for a customer.
The land is still in the hands of the Borman family today. The produce stand is still there along Cooper Foster Park Road, a comforting sight showing that not everything has to change over the decades.

We used to shop at a produce stand on Rt. 58 just outside of Oberlin, run by a husband and wife. I remember that her name was Betty, but I don't remember his, or their surname. We went to Oberlin every weekend to see relatives, and we always stopped by the stand during the season. My favorite was the strawberries.
