This photo of the “Gateway to Colorado” offers a glimpse into the business scene in Holyoke in 1937. Some of the businesses on the west side of the street in the 100 block of North Interocean Avenue include J.C. Penney Company (now Pizza p.a.d.), Standard Drugs (now Los Parra’s Mexican Restaurant), Channer’s 5-10-25¢ Store (now Mike Neill State Farm Insurance Agency), Holyoke Cafe (now First Dragon Chinese Restraurant), and Holyoke Market (now The Holyoke Enterprise). A stop sign is also visible at the intersection of highways 385 and 6 instead of the stoplight used today. — source: Phillips County Museum
