It appears to me that The Needler<\/i> may have occupied two buildings with a common wall, both the corner building with the historic plaque, and the brick building abuting it. While my grandmother tried to teach me how to knit once, I know very little about needlepoint, & cross stitch and the like. This SCETV<\/a> story (with oddly somber music) gives a little background on the store and the needle arts.<\/p>\n

(Hat tip to commenter MJ)<\/p>\n

UPDATE 1 July 2019<\/b> -- Commenter Todd Miller points out that this was most likely originally a Pure<\/i> gas station. Looking at some old photos on the web, I think he's right, so I'm adding that the post title. Also, this place is now a restaurant called Nicky's Pizzeria<\/a>:<\/p>\n
