Drive in on the left - Surety Exterminating and Swain Co on the right.

The building on the left was a "Tastee Freeze" ice cream store.

This is S. Wilmington St. The Surety Exterminators are still there! Lived within walking distance to these.

2524 S. Wilmington St, Raleigh

I lived on Illeagnes Rd. from 1967 to 1978 and recall many a time going to that Tastee Freeze. There was an Arthur Treacher's Fish and Chips restaurant and a Hardee's with the old sombrero-style building by the Coca-Cola bottling company and we would also go to the indoor putting range located behind the Hardee's.

My father ran this Tastee Freeze from 1960 to the late 80's. His name was Capt. (Ret.) Donald R. Heath. He is buried at Montlawn Cemetery just up the road on S. Wilmington Street.
