It’s been Sweetheart Corner all my life. When driving along Route 11 through the Village of North Syracuse, I’d see this sign at the corner with Taft Road and even as a kid in the 1970s, I knew this sign was nostalgic. Even the traffic reports on the radio always mentioned “Sweetheart Corner”.
The Sweetheart Corner sign marking the spot has a bit of a backstory. I remember shopping at Sweetheart Supermarket shortly before it was torn down. I was delighted when the sign was preserved and later restored.
Driving by the sign today made me smile. A little bit of my childhood lives on.
