This was a store in addition to being a filling station. T. Mobley writes: This store was THE place for local gentlemen to gather and discuss their crops, neighbors, wives, or other important events of the day, while enjoying a cold beverage.
Update: As of 2020, this structure has been demolished.
This was my father’s store. I learned more in that old store than I could have in any school. All of my life lessons were here. I am now 62 years old and looking back I think everyone that came in that store had a little bit to do with raising me. I wouldn’t trade those times for anything in the world! I always said I should write a book about that wonderful old store.
I was in Waynesboro in June 2021. The store is no longer there. It has been demolished.
This store looks like the Vickers Store in Mora. This must have been a common plan for these types of businesses.
