April 23, 1975
Yes, young people, Soperton had stores and merchants in 1975. When the weather was pretty in spring and fall, there were Sidewalk Sales. Since everybody enjoys guess, we want to ask you the name of the store, the owner's name, the location, and the people in the picture. A few faces are in plain view, but others can be figured out by the relationships. After a few days we will collect the comments and put them on the blog.
Others that week: The Board of Education and Tri-County RC&D launched a program to recover and prevent erosion at all three schools. (Thank you Mr. Gene Bowers.) THS Juniors and Seniors received recognition for academic achievement, the old fire truck, Stateboro Relays track & field, a family union at community house, trip to Six Flags, and a young twirler.
That is Katherine's dress store, owned by Katherine McLendon. It was located next to Baker's service station on 2nd street - across from the Soperton News. Theresa McLendon Hayes is shown in the picture.

ReplyDeleteMs McLendon's store, but I cannot recall the name of it. It was on the same street as Dr. McNair's office, near the old theatre. That is Teresa and Bart in the photo I think.....if memory serves me........--Jean Ellington Stafford
