vignette at veazy'sThe business district of downtown New Deal was a bustling place in earlier decades - before Interstate 27 took the traffic west of the intersection with the blicking red light. In the early 50s Grady Henly built what in later times would be almost a strip shopping center. The structure housed the post office, a grocery store, a drugstore/cafe and a barbershop. The artifacts pictured above are in front of what was Veazy's Drugstore -- although I don't remember drugs or notions in the store, just a fountain with stools and booths. Frank Veazy's enterprise didn't last long; June down the street had been there longer and pulled in more customers.
