EUFAULS, Oklahoma There is nothing finer than fresh caught deep fried catfish, especially is you noodled it yourself. It's simple you find a water hole in a muddy swampy place and stick your bare hand down in the water and just feel around. When you feel the first bight, you know it is time to be noodling. So you stick your hand further into the mouth of a 50 pound cat fish and grab hold of whatever you can, twisting, spinning and torquing your body into odd angles you bring up this very angry fish. Noodling takes definite strength, a pinch of courage and good amount of plumb being out of your head. There are variations of what this fine red neck sport is called depending on what side of the river you live on. It could be called; Catfishing, Grabbling, Hogging, Tickling, Gurgling and Stumping. Fine family fun on a Sunday afternoon, however, there are few hidden dangers, besides drowning. One is the pesky probability that a catfish vacated his hole and a new residence has moved in, like an alligator, beaver, snake, muskrat or even a snapping turtle. On these occasions some Noodlers have returned home without a finger or other extremities.

Winn-Dixie, former Zayre, East Cone Boulevard at Summit Avenue, Greensboro NC, approximately two months after closing.
Winn-Dixie didn't survive in Lynchburg much longer after this modern store was built, and the building itself didn't survive for many years after the Winn-Dixie closed, as it was demolished along with the rest of the Forest Plaza West Shopping Center to make room for a new Walmart.

The map location doesn't look right because the formerly treed area has been logged since the satellite imagery was produced.
The first of it's kind - the van-trailer! This was parked in the vicinity of Dixie Square, just off of Dixie Highway. This picture is titled "Ghetto-fabulous."

Dixie Lee (1911–1952) was an American actress, dancer, and singer. She was the first wife of singer Bing Crosby. Her most notable films are probably the comedies The Big Party (J 1930) and Love in Bloom ( 1935) with George Burns and Gracie Allen.
Dixie Lee was born Wilma Winifred Wyatt in Harriman, Tennessee in 1911. Her parents were Evan Wyatt and the former Nora Scarborough. She adopted the professional name Dixie Carroll to enter an amateur singing contest in Chicago in 1928. She won the contest and the prize was a job as a singer at a roadhouse called College Inn. Whilst working there, she was spotted by a talent scout and given a part in the travelling company of Good News. A film contract was subsequently offered and Winfield Sheehan of the Fox film studio changed her name to Dixie Lee, to avoid confusion with actresses Nancy Carroll and Sue Carol. One of her first films was the comedy Why Leave Home? (Raymond Cannon, 1929) starring Sue Carol. They also co-starred in The Big Party (John G. Blystone, 1930). Lee met Bing Crosby at the age of 18 and they married in 1930, at the Church of the Blessed Sacrament in Hollywood. Dixie Lee was better known than Crosby at that time, as illustrated by the incorrect news release issued by the Associated Press, which reported she married 'Murray Crosey'. There were early problems with the marriage and in March 1931, Dixie announced that they had separated and that she would soon be filing a divorce suit charging mental cruelty. Within a week, a reconciliation came about. They had four sons: Gary (1933); twins Phillip and Dennis (1934); and Lindsay (1938). Lindsay and Dennis both would commit suicide as adults, Lindsay in 1989 and Dennis in 1991.
After the birth of the twins, Dixie Lee made a brief return to show business. Lee made two appearances on the Shell Chateau radio program in 1935 and she made three more films. Her most notable film is probably the comedy Love in Bloom (Elliott Nugent, 1935) with George Burns and Gracie Allen. Her last film was the musical Redheads on Parade (Norman Z. McLeod, 1935) with John Boles, but the reviews were mediocre. She made a couple of records in 1935, including You've Got Me Doing Things, a song she introduced in the film Love in Bloom. Her final recordings were two duets with her husband recorded in 1936 - A Fine Romance and The Way You Look Tonight. She then retired from show business. Crosby's biographer, Gary Giddins, describes Dixie Lee as a shy, private person with a sensible approach to life. Giddins recounts that Dixie and Bing, as young marrieds, were often invited to parties where liquor was plentiful, and Dixie drank socially to keep up with Bing. She succeeded in curbing Bing's alcohol consumption, but her own alcoholism worsened. This led to problems with the marriage and divorce was briefly contemplated by Crosby in January 1941. In January 1945, Dixie Lee was rushed to St. Vincent's Hospital after collapsing with a 'respiratory infection'. Crosby accompanied his wife to the hospital in an ambulance and remained at her bedside during the night. A later article in Picturegoer magazine suggested that she had taken an accidental overdose of sleeping tablets and that her life was in the balance for over a week. Crosby persuaded her to take part in his radio show broadcast on 20 December 1950, her first ever appearance with him on radio. Dixie Lee died from ovarian cancer in 1952, three days before her 41st birthday.
