This photograph shows what the LubeXpress looked like before 1950, except that it was a Shell station/grocery store then. The Highway was a two lane road. The business was owned by Earl Reiser. It was the kind of store where you asked for groceries at the counter and the clerk went and got them for you. Tualatin - Sherwood Road and North Sherwood Boulevard crossed Highway 99 at this location, so that all three roads sliced the land up like a pizza for six. That's why old timers still refer to the area as "Six Corners." Call 503-625-6117, Extension 21 for more about the Power Show.

The Show is this week!!!I regret that I will not be there as I am representing Sherwood School District at the State Writing Festival. You'll see some young'uns though! The Field Study Team will be there to check out all the old farm machinery. Now you know why they called the town of Progress, "Progress!"
I remember the signs that you used to see in that town: "Watch Progress Progress!" And she sure did. As for the Power Show, The Sherwood Historical Society had its old spot in the middle of the exhibition. Poor Clyde List played his fingers to the bone all by himself without you there to back him up. Bluegrass music and antique engines have a similar beat, it turns out.
Nice Blog!!! I thought I'd tell you about this site I came across as being very helpful for finding family relatives. If you are interested in genealogy then this site will be of interest to you or your fellow bloggers. Give it a try: Genealogy Detective
