Beep, beep; move over (please). This weekend is summer's last hurrah and many Greensboroians will be heading to the beach. I-40 will be busy, busy, busy. Perhaps one local family will be lucky enough to travel in the above vintage Volvo. What a beauty! This four-door, Volvo 122 S model is a station wagon from the 1960's; a classic, Amazon estate. Right now, this Volvo wagon is parked in front of Import Specialty of Summerfield on Highway 220, just north of Greensboro in Guilford County. The opposite of this vintage Volvo is the very 21st century Volvo Technology Group, also located in Greensboro.
Those who are headed to the mountains this weekend might be going to the North Carolina Apple Festival in Hendersonville. The Labor Day Flea Market and Gun Show at Hillsville, VA will be another day trip for many. People not leaving town will want to check out the John Coltrane Jazz Festival. For those who want to hit the trail and prefer to travel by horse, Purgason's Leather Products is right next door to Import Specialty. Have a great weekend and HONK, if you see this 122S on the road!
Love the Volvo Wagon!
The Flea Market and Gun Show in Hillsville sounds good. My Dad's people are from there a few generations back,around the 1840s. One of my Uncles went traipsing through very old graveyards there to find them in person and do rubbings of their headstones,there wasn't much for him to take away but a wicked case of poison ivy/oak however.
There are still shirt tail relatives there from the Shockley side of the family.
My Uncle Norman did bring me something besides information from that trip,A Cemetery Ear,it is a curled carob tree pod from the graveyard ,the seeds have long ago dried up inside and it rattles when you shake it. Uncle Norman said that was the sound of all the secrets the Cemetery Ear had heard while it was still there.
I had awesome Uncles!
