Linda – I believe Wave’s Inn was on Franktown Road and it is now a private residence. I believe the present location shown above as today is not the correct location. The location above (shown as present) was once a candle shop, POP Shoppe and ice cream parlour back in the late 1970’s but was never the Wave’s Inn

  2. This house is located 345 Franktown Road. It was a dance hall/restaurant, Wave’s Inn. I live here now, :-). The other picture is of a business on Hiway 7 and is/was a 2nd hand store, next door to what used to be Balderson’s ice cream.
