After Buddy retired from the VA Dept of ABC, he went to work part time for Krk and Tina who live here in Lex. I actually taught her in the 6th grade. They have a Walkabout Outfitters and a Ladles and Linens here in Lex as well as the ones in the Agnew building and a Walkabout at Valley View. How they do It I do not know. Bud helped Kirk clean out, update, paint, put in shelves...etc. I even saw the blood stain in the floor. So glad you showed it in your post today. geniegeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17475608100401444065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6640847503018468156.post-37876869961280407402012-03-29T12:16:13.274-04:002012-03-29T12:16:13.274-04:00Yes and I bet nary a discussion about reduction of...Yes and I bet nary a discussion about reduction of salaries for city board members, etc.! <br />I've visiting via A Rural Journal and I live in southwest VA; Tazewell County.Thistle Cove Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15722295191884810953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6640847503018468156.post-64400504636285091162012-03-29T12:10:15.830-04:002012-03-29T12:10:15.830-04:00Love those old buildings and advertising.Love those old buildings and advertising.Amy Burzesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10603247185748005749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6640847503018468156.post-11324169318713383212012-03-29T11:56:27.551-04:002012-03-29T11:56:27.551-04:00Although I'm sorry you had to miss the meeting...Although I'm sorry you had to miss the meeting, it sounds as if many people were there, and I hope their voices were heard by those who make decisions.
