Ernie Coombs and puppeteer Judith Lawrence with puppets Casey and his dog Finnegan in 1987. Did you or your kids watch?

1/2 Residents of Hillhurst Sunnyside will recognize this building as being the recent home of Oak Tree Tavern. The middle section was once a home, occupied by realtor Fred Paine, who listed it for sale in 1929, before the stock market crash. It didn't sell.
