The Rockingham Quiz - 01-25-11

Does anyone recognize this little shop below from the early 1980s in Rockingham?

 

January 26, 2011 - I received a lot of good answers on this Quiz and most of them were right or partly right. Below is the actual photo and a little description of the shop in question:

My mom worked at that store for a while when Johnsie ran it. But, before this it was Homer Benoist's Five Points Grocery or as we all knew him as "Dynamite". Lane Hudson offered a little tidbit of info on Homer's humor but I remember one also. Does anyone remember Dog Fever? I remember when I first heard of that was when me and Dad was in Homers store one day and Homer came up to me and said he had been sick. He got right up close to me to see if he still had a fever....as I got closer to him, he barked like a dog real loud and scared the crap out of me. That was Dog Fever..

Can you identify these two locations in Rockingham's past?

The Rockingham Quiz - 01-20-11

 

I have decided to only do the Rockingham Quiz on this blog. Having to go back and forth between two different sites probably caused confusion. So, each time I add a new entry(s), the date will be in the heading. After a few days, I will provide the Answer in the Comment section of the dated entry. I will announce on my website and on Facebook when a new entry is added. As noted before, if you have anything to add, just let me know - as long as it has something to do with Rockingham or Richmond County.

Let's see if this provides a little more participation.

First photo below for this new format: 1968 Rockingham Majoretts - can you name them?

1961 - Can you identify these guys?
