“Also from the book The Sand Strip;
The following is a list of the old radial stations or "stops" across the Beach as remembered by several long-time residents. Not all agreed on all of the locations, so this list contains some compromises. When the radials stopped running, the same zones were adopted by the Canada Coach Lines buses.

# 2 - Beach Road;
# 4 - Dynes Hotel;
# 5 - The Fresh Air Camp;
# 6 - Beach Bungalow School (lakeside) and Ryan's Drugstore (bayside);

#10 - Bethel Chapel;
# 12 - Milligan's House;
