Lumley & Roberts Paint and Hardware - 718 Caroline Street In 1965, the disparity between old and new met at this corner of Caroline Street and Peacon Lane. On one side of the lane stands the new concrete grocery with its Coca Cola signs and coin-operated scale - across the way is the hardware store, with its display windows and recessed front door and clock hung high on its front facade. The door stands open, an empty chair awaits the owner's return, and the dog naps on.
