We have learned from some old-timers in the vicinity that this location has been called Blackberry Corner since Hector was a pup. The name is, so we heard tell, older than the hills. Ferdinand Lau, of Route 2, Curtice, says it was called that when he was a boy, and he?s 82, nigh 83.
One story has it that the whole area, when it was just a wide place in the road, was jumping with blackberry bushes, and people came from a far piece to pick them. But there was another attraction. There was a saloon there, and some people do say that one day a bunch of berry pickers were lapping it up like sixty and some of them got to smearing each other with berries. Somebody with a funny streak in him said that it was ?certainly a blackberry corner,? and the name stuck. It?s a fair to middling explanation as good as any.
