Patch Blog: Things That Went Away in Glendale

I need some help in finding information that only old residents might know.

As a boy who walked home from Clark (then) Junior High School, I often walked by a somewhat mysterious house covered with vines. It was Kehr's Clock Shop. As I was fascinated with old clocks, I met Mr. Kehr and we developed a friendship. I used my paper route money to buy several clocks from him. I believe his place was on the westside of Rosemont Avenue, just north of Honolulu Avenue. 

Does anyone remember Kehr's shop and do you know what happened to him? Also, did any of you attend Clark Junior High School from 1951 to 1954? I would love to chat with you. I live in Tulsa, Oklahoma, but I grew up in Glendale/Montrose. Please, let's share memories.
