This was during 1976-77. A grand opening drawing was held and Andy Lewis was the recipient of a large family Bible.

I worked the soda fountain for 2/3 years in the 50s. From the picture it appears as if the building is about to drop.

I know when I was a kid it was something great to go to the drugstore and get a drink or ice cream, I believe if we just stop talking and start doing we will surprise ourselves.

The Town could profit from the units while helping the community. Their can be a lot done with the space to help the cities budget and the community. Town council just has to think outside the box. Two thumbs up to the Mayor for forward thinking. Century Storage units would be good. The Town could profit from the units while helping the community.

If you don't want kids getting into trouble, they need a place to go. This would be a perfect opportunity to provide such a place....but sadly, they'll tear it down along with all our memories and the kids will still be getting in trouble because they have nowhere else to go.

For historical value that is. Why save the metal building that was an attachment. If you can't save the front tear the whole mess to the ground and clear it out. Just saying...there really is no value other than historical and it is an eye sore! By the the way...miss you Dr. Stewart you were truly one of a kind!

The pharmacy and soda fountain, Andy Lewis, J. C. Kelly, and Jim Rawlinson. My Dad's first office was upstairs with a later one built on in the back. So sad to see it go.

I remember as a small girl walking into the drug store and seeing my uncle Ceylon Lee, J.C. Jim, and Andy behind the counter. When you walk through the door u turned and walked into Dr. Stewart's office. Then when the Gift Shop was there during my early teen years it was the place to be. From Cherry cokes, Vanilla Sodas and a game room with pac-man it was non stop fun for us neighborhood teens. Those walls in that run down building holds alot of memories for our community. Hate to see it go but sadly that's what happens with time. I have so many happy child hood memories of this building.
