This next photo below might be a little tricky but let's see how many know where this business was located and the name.
01-28-11 - OK, There have been a lot of good answers but the right one is: The Seafood Center, at the intersection of East Washington & Lawrence Streets in downtown Rockingham. The true photo is below, before I doctored it for the Quiz - it was taken in 1965.
Was this the place across from Hallum's Furniture in Rockingham? I think A.C. Godwin has his insurance company in that building. - La Wanda

"This was a SERVICE STATION before it was the SEAFOOD CENTER. My Dad worked there in the early 1930's. May be how he met my Mom, who lived 1/2 block down the hill on No. Lawrence Street, and would walk past the service station on her way to work at the dime store down the block."

"Yes, The Seafood Center...I can still smell it! In the 60's a man selling strawberries out of his truck would park under the Twining 5-sign...And wasn't there a taxi stand there, too?"
Before it was a fish market,I believe it was the Dixie Home grocery store late 50's
