A Flavor Of The Past ~ George Moe was a meticulous man, and when he built Moe's Sport Shop No. 2 at 902 S. State St., he put care into its fixtures. The pecanwood cabinets, at left, were decorated with medallions (closeup, top right) [this photo]. The clock at top left is just one of the things that gives a flavor of the past to the store.
