While I don’t do the Buzzyblog for feedback I do appreciate it whenever someone says something nice about something they have read or seen here. In the time that I have been doing this, I have noted that the posts that seem to spark the most comments from folks are of two varieties, a good type and a bad type. T
The bad comes about when I vent or get something off my chest like when I had all of my doo dahs with my f’ed up neighbor. Anything I wrote about him seemed to generate a bunch of comments from folks. Most of the comments were sympathetic as it seems that just about everybody has a f’ed up neighbor to deal with.
But on the good side of the ledger, whenever I put old Buzzy photo’s on here, people will comment to me on how much they enjoyed seeing those. It has led me to compose this little rip off of that thing (right) about where someone serves their guests:
No matter what I choose on the Buzyblog to post,
People seem to like the old photos the most.
Here then are some old photos. First up is a 1954 photo of my Mom, my Sister Donna Jean and my Brother Steve. It was taken on the side of the store. Note the old road in the background and how close it used to be to the store’s parking lot. The new road straightened out the turn and moved over more onto Leola Price’s property. That’s Leola’s old house in the background.

Next up is a photo of some folks in Buzzy’s. I have identified the ones I know, but am not sure who the two on the left are.

| J. Frank Raley Sr,, Jonesy Norris, Buddy White and Tippy |
This is a funny one. Check out the expression on Dick’s face.

Speaking of pictures of the Store, the two Mary Lou Troutman paintings of Buzzy’s are shown here. Architecturally, there are a couple differences. Can you pick them out? Reason for the differences, one is pre-fire 1983 and one is post.
