“Remembering Rex’s Corner” by John Pottoff

Do you remember when Rex’s Confectionery was a special “hangout” for all ages and all purposes, such as discussing local and national politics, debating referees’ calls after local basketball games, enjoying Rex’s famous chili or ice cream sundaes after sledding down Rex’s Hill? While food and drinks, a jukebox, and pinball machines drew a crowd, Otis “Rex” Rethroth’s personality was most likely the main reason for the popularity of this establishment over the decades. John Pottoff, Rex’s grandson, will share memories of Rex’s and much more.
