Mike Watson: Livery stable photo likely ca. 1909-2016

Concurs with Vonnie Kolbenschlag on location of Goff Bros. business
See: Comments re photo 66982 Favorite Old Photo Barry Loy seeks help on livery location

By Mike Watson

Vonnie K. is correct. The livery stable was on the down side of lot 51.

There were many stables scattered over Columbia prior to the modern age of the automobile and there were many changes-of-hand over the years as well, which caused business names to change, but not locations.

Carol Perkins: J&C Travel Agent adventures II

Adventures in the early days of 'J&C Travel. The tale of the first cruise on the Oasis of the Sea. Part II
Next earlier Carol Perkins article: Carol Perkins: the after sale of the store Travel 'Agency'

By Carol Perkins

The cruise story from last week continues . . .

Shore excursions at ports of call can be done from a passenger's room. I decided that booking in person was a better choice to avoid a technological error; however, I had not expected a human one.

Just to make sure I understood the excursion person (none of the crew spoke Southern), one of the girls went with me. We booked eleven tours for a St. Thomas tour that was to end with shopping.

Vonnie Kolbenschlag: Livery stable where Glamorette is now

Vonnie Kolbenschlag writes:
I believe this is the livery stable that morphed into a car sales business, as many did during the transition form horse and buggy to automobiles. Now is is Glamourette (not sure of spelling) on Campbellsville Street. The foundation stones can still be seen as in the photo. Not too long ago, the large rectangle top was replaced with a metal roof. --Vonnie Kolbenschlag
