These Are The Days

Please note: the Standard Oil Co. gas station on the corner of E.Court Sq. and E. Ponce de Leon. not to be confused with the Gas Station one block down on Church St. & E. Ponce de Leon which was a Sinclair Gas Station at one time, and that building is still there, and will soon be the future home of "Leon's Full Service Pub"


In the mid-1940's Jack Benny and Fred Allen were playing at the Dekalb THeatre, where you could buy Dr. Pepper brought by the truck parked out front. F.W. Woolworth was called "the five and dime" and there was a Piggly Wiggly grocery store next to the Fulton National Bank. You could see the Hotel Candler in the distance. The bank building and connected shops are still there.
You can also see a Standard Oil gas station across from Woolworth's on the corner of E. Court Sq. and E. Ponce de Leon..
I can't help but wonder why they had Gas stations so close, just down one block towards Church
St. which will be the future home of Leon's Full Service Pub.
Was the Sinclair Gas station down on Church St. built after this photo ?????
This is something I am going to research.
