| 1968 - Highway 220 |
| In the photo at the top is the late E. Bert McLaurin standing next to Highway 220 while the road was being "four-laned" in 1968. The photographer was looking north. The Pee Dee Methodist Church is at the left, and the Pee Dee Baptist Church is in the right background. (To the left of the Methodist church, up the hill, is the route we used to take when we walked home from school - which conveniently went past Johns Pool Hall.) The bottom photo shows a 1973 photo of the new Pee Dee Baptist Church, rebuilt on a higher elevation because of the widening of the highway. (To the right and up on the hill in this photo is the location of the old Pee Dee Pentecostal Holiness Church I went to when I was a kid. It has changed names now and my mother still goes there.) |
