Vintage images reveal impromptu elephant show
A truck breakdown led to the demonstration near Green Park School.

"It was pure luck for passers-by who happened to be at Bradstreet Mobil Service Station, 1068 E. Isaacs Ave., when a truck broke down on June 20, 1966".

"At that time, Highway 410 ran through town on Isaacs Avenue, which brought traffic right past the fueling station, now home to Tony’s Sub Shop, and through downtown to Ninth Avenue".

"The truck ferried circus elephants that disembarked and put on an impromptu demonstration on the lot catercorner from Green Park School at Isaacs and Clinton Street".
