The house on the right is still there in 2023. It was built in 1924 and is 884 square foot. It was last sold in 2007.

 

Brooks Loose Leaf Floor is the business on the right where the flatbed truck is coming out of the driveway. Brooks had something to do with the tobacco buyers industry.

 

A badly beaten 1949 International Harvester (Mission Orange) Soda Delivery Truck is seen parked on the left side of the street, half the bumper is broken off.

 

The green pick up truck parked at the curb on the right is a Studebaker. A Shell Service Station is off to the left. The floodlit Shell sign has a neon halo surrounding it.

 

This over the street sign made it into post card form at some point. A smaller scale, reproduction of this sign is on display in town today, but it does not go over the street.
