Fike Chevrolet.This place has been family owned/operated since it opened in 1923.Up until about 5-7 yrs ago it still looked like it did the '20s basically.Someone from GM thought it should have an updated,modern look to it and this what it ended up as.It doesn't 'fit' this Mayberry-ish rural town.Back in the early 1980's I worked here detailing new/used cars.In front there was a small island with 'air' hose and 2 '50s Gulf gas pumps.It also had nice Fike Chevrolet neon that lit up blue at night.
