Thus, trucks and automobiles became the principal means of transportation through this area. Inevitably, with this epicenter of heavy pass-through transportation, motels with catchy colorful signs and filling stations with a "down home feel," such as the former Pure Oil station, which is now the Oakhurst Country Club rapidly became present throughout the area.
