Lila's Cafe in Piedmont

[Wilma]

Diane, the Little Hooker is also a bait shop close to the Winfield City Lake.  The name comes from the fishing merchandise they sell, not their services.

It seems to me the intersection of US-400 and the secondary road into Fall River is called Hookers Corner.

There was a bait shop on that corner at one time, but my understanding is that it was called Hookers Corner long before that.

   As in catfish? I hope!

Can any of you from around this area tell me if there used to be a pond near Piedmont called Barney Google's?  When I was younger, I spent some time in Piedmont, (yes, at Lila's) and was taken several times to a pond that was affectionately called Barney Google's Pond.  It was north of Piedmont and you would take a little road that ran along side the highway to get there.  Just wondering......This would have been back in the early 70's.

Diane, Hooker's Corner at Fall River is close to a large fishing lake, also.

[Rudy Taylor]

I think they do a little hunting there, too.

(They use horehounds)

[kdfrawg]

Rudy, you are both incorrigable and untrainable.

That must be why I like you.

[Diane Amberg]

   Rudy...Horehounds? Do their owners have to go out and clean up Horehound drops?

[Rudy Taylor]

Why, Diane ... you're beginning to think like Kermit and me. And that's not exactly a compliment.

Dunno, I've just always thought horehound candy carried a funny name.

[Janet Harrington]

About as funny as other words.
