Re: Working Man's Burbon

The weather was nice yesterday and I had some free time so I drove the WMB down to Salem. Its about an hour drive the traffic was good and was an nice drive. I had decided to visit the dealership the truck where had been sold when it was a shiny new model. I had looked up the address (photo 1) from the owners manual on the web and it looked like it was still there. I thought it would be cool to get pictures of the WMB next to the building if possible. Driving into Salem I passed the current version of Capital Chevrolet. If I could get a picture of the old building I would stop and get one of the current one too.
I found the address and got lucky enough to park next to the address number on the building. (Photo 2 circled) I had to get the pictures from across the street. Having to wait for the traffic to clear between the traffic lights turned this into about a 45 minute photo shoot. I don't know for sure but it looks to me as if the dealership was likely the whole block at some point. The address being in the middle of the block may have been the original location and as the business grew they took over the adjacent properties and built new buildings. (Photo 3 & 4)
