Lake Avenue, where it was cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. 2 Albritton recalls men coming in every day just to play checkers, taking time out for lunch and then returning. Even some businessmen came in to play when things were slow. And they would "play by the numbers, " meaning they'd pick a card that would spell out the first three moves, so the games would vary and the players "wouldn't get stuck in a rut. " 3 An article in the Avon Park Sun, dated Sept. 12, 1974, and headlined "471 Years of Checker Playing Experience, " spotlights six of the regular checker players at Albritton's barber shop. Their average at the time was 78 1/2. 4 According to the article, "Their slightly askewed table is a piece of plywood (barely larger than the one-piece checkerboard) nailed to a rough-sawed four-by-four which in turn is nailed to a one-inch board. And a game is in hot progress almost any time one drops in at the shop. " 5 Albritton says the last game of checkers played in his shop took place "probably in the mid-1980 s. " He thinks the checker board they used is now on the table sitting in the remodeled checker shack. And a sign in front of a wooden box of checkers on display in the depot museum of the Historical Society of Avon Park reads, "These checkers were used on the checker board in Memorial Square on the Avon Park Mall.
