Finished. Baker’s Grocery from the 50’s. Oil on Canvas. Dry Run, Tennessee USA. Owned by Carl Baker. They had a little bit of everything. The best bologna, car parts, cloth for making dresses, gas, pop, and even a section for ladies’ undergarments.

A pump-lever car on the Laurel Railway (Mountain City, TN to Laureldale, VA--Laureldale was located about 1.5 miles south of Damascus, VA, about where today's intersection of highways US-58 and TN/VA-91 is), circa 1916. (The building in the background is the Laurel Railway's Laureldale depot.) People in the pic, left to right: John Lethcoe, Milton Hensley, Walt Comer, John Wolfe, Ben Broady. (The Laurel Railway's former roadbed is today's highway 91.)

I just thought this was so cool. I love learning about the old railroads in East Tennessee.
