Harold Elders store in St. Mary's Kentucky. A great place to buy gasoline, groceries and penny candy! Back in the day.

They recently demoed this store early 2016. The white house beside it is still standing, but it now looks abandoned.

The house beside Harold's store was my grandparents. Unfortunately it too is scheduled to be demolished very soon . . . . many memories.

My husband and I, ran the TJ's Lounge in this building From 2000 to 2005, Jimmie and Theresa Thomas

This was my grandfather,Harold Elder's, store. The front was a grocery store that had a long glass counter and shelves of candy behind it. There was a cigarette machine. The sold anything between baby food and gasoline. The back half had 2 exterior entrances. One was right beside the car in the photo. The other led to the "beer garden" that came many years later. You could also reach the bar are through a door inside that connected it to the grocery. The bar had a jukebox and a small stage for bands. The bar stretched from one end to the next with black vinyl barstools lined up. There were pool tables also. From many stories I heard over the years, this was the place to be in the late 70's and early 80's.
There were also train tracks that were right across the road just out of the shot in the picture. The state paid my family very little to buy this plot and tear it down. Mostly because it sat so closely to the corner and obstructed the view of traffic.

In addition, my grandparents called that house "The Mattingly house" as long as I could remember.

Jennifer, you wouldn't have any photos from inside your grandparents store, would you ???
The Mattingly house is where I had many happy memories. MM
