From the sign on Stanton Lincoln-Mercury, this photo appears to be from around 1952.  The Park Theatre closed a year or two later. Stanton's moved as well, changing hands as owner Bill Stanton entered politics in the mid-1950's, becoming a US Congressman in 1965. Krogers relocated to the new Painesville Shopping Center, which was just outside of the city limits on Mentor Ave. near the Fairgrounds.
