Briefly Summarizing Known History Of The Property:
Wilkinson Boulevard was
once known as the major commercial corridor US29. Thus, automobiles
and trucks became the principal means of transportation through this area.
Inevitably, restaurants, eateries, and drive-ins such as The Bar B-Q-King
became part of the streetscape.
