Chicory isn't as common around this part of the state as it is in deep southeast id guess it's not chicory

Damn, that place looked old back in '38.


But it has to be coffee, according to this the founders of Mello Joy coffee used to work for the makers of Creole Belle.

Reminds me of The River Shack when they took siding off to find old signs painted on the original building...

Why is there a black cover over the sign in front of the store?
