If you can't name the business, perhaps you could identify the location.

Is the business connected with either dairy or raising produce, eg, strawberries?

I was thinking it looked like Kentucky and Liberty, but that would be north of the square and not east. How about Reisinger's?

Maybe "the old town" is not the square. Maybe that is Kentucky and Liberty. Brown's Orchard used to be there, but was north of Kentucky and east of Liberty. Hmmmm.

Yup, Old Town is generally the Square and surrounding area. All three of the businesses in question were generally east of the Square, with the one in the photo being a bit more NE.

Perhaps Spring Hill Nursery? I think that was the name of the place out on 24 near 291.

Me thinks you mean Spring Lake Gardens, which was on the south side of US 24 Highway just east of US 71 Bypass. If'n that is what you meant, then you are correct and the winner! MRGDallas will share his Hi-Boy's reward with you.


If not then never mind...

Yep, that's the place I remember going to. Obviously, Spring is the only part of the name that I could recall correctly.
