Jamestown is the little Guilford County community located between Greensboro and High Point. It has a tremendous amount of history in less than three square miles. Just up the road from Dr. Shubal Coffin's house is this little, old-timey gas station (photographed above). Time seems to have stood still here, while Jamestown is changing before our eyes. If you haven't ventured down there lately, Main Street is becoming quite a destination for restaurants.
We can't help but wonder what will become of this Mayberry/Andy Griffith-looking, High Point Road filling station. By the way, if you live in High Point, the road is known as Greensboro Road. We're betting that the roof on this little slice of Americana came from the Pomona Terra Cotta Works in Greensboro. While we hope you are enjoying the present, and dreaming of the future; we hope you have a little time to appreciate the history around you.
