2 Comments:
Recently was shopping for a car at Alley's Chrysler in Kingsport and one of the salesman I was speaking with was a Mr.Bowen who had the deli in the mall when it opened.
I remember when the Eckerds was where Garfields is now. Its good to see a lot of the businesses are still with us just not at the mall.
I still miss when the Lavender family owned the caramel corn now it smells like nail Polish remover lol. Neat to have a record of that.
