Times Correspondent Since the first Mormon pioneers arrived in Utah Valley to settle the town of Provo, some 155 years ago, a wide variety of stores and other businesses busi-nesses have been opened here to serve the needs of the community. Unskilled, under-financed entrepreneurs entrepre-neurs who eventually closed their doors and left town with holes in their pockets pock-ets started many of them on a shoestring. shoe-string. But some of them with more faith and determination in themselves succeeded suc-ceeded in business and established family dynasties that have flourished over the years. A half-a-century ago there were no multi-million dollar malls in Utah County. With America still emerging from the trauma of World War II, retail businesses were entering an exciting period of post-war boom throughout the country. Utah County's retail shopping center cen-ter was found in downtown Provo, where an interesting assortment of stores was drawing crowds from a wide area. In 1950, Provo's shopping hub was located at 250 West Center Street, where the large Taylor Brothers store drew many customers. Also located on Center Street, between 200 and 300 West, were the Dixon-Taylor Russell Furniture Company, Farmers and Merchants Bank, Bennett's Paint & Glass, Singer Sewing Machine Company, Sessions Furniture Company, Consolidated Hardware, Anderson's Dodge-Plymouth, B & H Pharmacy and Montgomery Ward. Also on Center Street, between 100 and 200 West, were located Provo Pharmacy, Fletcher's Ladies Store, Heindselman's, Mullett Hoover, Sears, Roebuck & Co., Firmage's, Standard Optical and Kress. Between 100 East and 100 West on Center Street were located Utah Office Supply, Paramount Theater, Ladies Dress Store, Uinta Theater, City Drug Store, Provo State Bank, Thomas' Shriver's, F. W.

Although there are no motion picture pic-ture theaters remaining on Provo's Center Street, there are no less than 18 restaurants and cafes operating between 100 East and 300 West, as well as an interesting mix of other stores and businesses. In October 2003, downtown Provo's business hub is the soaring Nu Skin building, located at 100 W. Center Street, that serves as its international headquarters. Surrounding that modern mod-ern structure are many fine dining establishments and other businesses that constitutes today's central shopping shop-ping district. From 100 East to University Avenue on Center Street are Ottavio's Ristorante Italiano, Guru's Restaurant, Einstein Bros. Bagels and Gandolfo's Delicatessen. Also on Center Street, from University Avenue to 100 West, are The Wight House, Hickory Kist Homestyle Deli, Osaka Japanese Restaurant, Lotus Garden Chinese Restaurant, Window Box Gallery, Bride's Emporium, Pier 49 Pizza, Demae Japanese Restaurant, The Fabric Mill and the Buona Vita Italian Restaurant. From 100 to 200 West on Center Street, are the Palace Cafe, The Sensuous Sandwich, Bingham Book & Copy, Crazy Canuck Canadian Imports, Marriott Hotel, Heritage Books, Cat's Cradle Antiques, Pioneer Book, Mullett Hoover, Heindselman's, Bingham Cyclery, Art Services and Knighton Optical. Also on Center Street, between 200 West and 300 West, are Bronk Pizza, Royal Nails, Steamers Coffee Shop, Sampa Guija Garden, Enchanted Garden, JJ's Hair Salon, Joe Vera's Mexican Restaurant, Hope Gallery, Dave's Bernina, Jay's Jungle, The Salon, Rice King Restaurant, B & H Pharmacy, Roberts Crafts, Caravan Surplus, Peppermint Place, Provo Art & Frame, Taylor Maid Beauty Shop, Denimville Clothing, and I) & B Woods Furniture.

As far as can be determined, there are only four of these stores operating in Downtown Provo in 2002, which were also in operation in 1950: Heindselman's, Mullett Hoover, B & H Pharmacy and Allen's Photo. One thing about shopping in Utah County is the certainty of dynamic change. In another half-a-century, the certainty of change, undoubtedly, will result in another very interesting mix of businesses. e sir e Si odd a irons it The Boy Scouts of America Weblos troop 652; 445; and 1292 are doing a service project to let people know that it is very important to save water.
