The ice rink in the Farmers Market was just west of where the post office is now and on the site now located where the Brownstones are. The road that goes between the post office and the Brownstones did not exist and the road actually was due west of the Brownstones lots. It was actually the road that now goes between the Brownstones and Luby's (now covered by a parking garage). I remember going back there years later and being confused by the placement of the road because it now borders a neighborhood and the Farmers Market was on the east side of the road and there is no room for it there with the current road. A check of the historical photos on Google Earth (from 1978) confirms the layout in the 70s.
