Throwback Thursday: What Havre de Grace Businesses Do You Miss?

HAVRE DE GRACE, MD--While Giant Food stores offer convenient services and chain restaurants are plentiful, nothing beats a neighborhood coffee shop or family-owned hardware store.

Unfortunately, sometimes mom and pop can’t keep these shops open for one reason or another.

We asked Patch Readers in Havre de Grace what extinct local business they’d bring back from the dead. Here’s a list of one-time favorites:

• “Hecht Hardware.”
• “Frank’s Shoe Store--Sears”
• “State Theater”
• “Tidewater players!”
• “Thought about a shoe stoe in our empty site on Washington St. Ant thoughts?”
