I think that's the Hog Heaven building on Guess road.
Roxboro and Avondale.
Avondale Drive as previously stated, right across the street from McDonalds
I think that's Avondale, next to the Quick-As-A-Wink cleaners. I have a vague childhood memory of a shoe store there.
Yep, absolutely Roxboro and Avondale. That's where my mother dragged us to buy school shoes in elementary school.
2210 Avondale Dr. to be exact.
It is on Avondale at the corner of Edwards, across Avondale from McDonald's and across Edwards from Pizza Village.
The sign in the window reminds me of a shoe store slogan back in the Midwest, "Two for five, man alive."
My mother bought me some sneakers there. They lasted about a week and the soles fell off!
Lesson: you get what you pay for.
This looks like the one on Avondale where it comes together with Roxboro Rd. I remember going there.
Jamie, don't feel bad...I was thinking Hog Heaven when I first saw it too.
The 1963 City Directory confirms Pic N Pay shoes at 2202 Avondale Dr, right next door to Cougle's Fiesta Cleaners at 2204 Avondale. There is no listing in the 1962 Directory.
I believe that was a shoe store well into the 80's.
This is definitely across the street from the McDonald's on Avondale. I vividly remember going into Pic and Pay as a child and I was born in 1986 lol!
Yep, that's Don Cougle's Fiesta Cleaners next door to Pic n Pay. Mrs. Jones' Bragtown Nursery School was across the street where the now defunct Arby's Roast Beef used to be. Used to be mules in a fence behind this building. I went to the nursery school in the early '60's and we used to watch them out of the front windows.
