Defunct Gas Stations

Do you remember when Deep Rock and Gulf had service stations in Jefferson? How many more gas stations can you name that once existed in town but are now closed?

Closing Committee

A former resident of Jefferson, now retired, has enlightened me as to a chamber committee that existed in the mid-seventies whose sole function was to pressure all Jefferson retail establishments into closing at five p.m. No wonder most of them are now defunct.

Doughnuts

As a devoted consumer of doughnuts, I really have to comment on the questionable quality of the products served at Bunker's Dunkers. Apparently they are suffering from a severe frosting shortage, and use it only sparingly. They also seem to glaze only the top half of the doughnuts. This is supposed to be Saba's old recipe, although I am sure that he would be spinning in his grave if he saw them now.

Railroad Overpass

Can anybody out there update us on the progress of Jefferson's railroad overpass project? What were the reactions to it at the recent informational meeting held in town? Why won't the Bee & Herald report on this?

No Midway

It has come to our attention that there was no midway this year at the Greene County Fair. That's right - no rides, games, or other similar entertainment. Just a lot of extra parking. What gives?
