Although the photography shop was thriving, in 1965 Mr. Picco started offering income tax services as an added activity and then both he and his wife began bookkeeping for diverse companies, especially paving and construction companies run by Italian entrepreneurs.

The bookkeeping services expanded rapidly, as did the income tax business. However, every venture undertaken was not necessarily such a success. Mrs. Picco ran a travel agency for several years in the late 1960s, but when the “International Agency Traveller’s Association” was abolished, the business became too complicated to maintain. Nonetheless, these initiatives demonstrate that the Piccos were hard working individuals and had a desire to provide much needed services to the Italian community. In 1990, the Picco family sold their property to two patrons who built a very classy restaurant called, “Spago”.
