Wow. I... saw this SHELL of a building sit... unused for decades. I came BACK to visit family, and what should sit in this once derelict place? A LIQUOR store! I haven't even been BACK since alcohol was finally allowed!

It was in a good location for a gas station, or a restaurant AND a gas station, etc... but this was an equally good "use" for the space. At least now Arp can see a few new sources of taxation and MAYBE survive as a town a little longer? I think eventually they'll either be annexed by Chapel Hill or Overton, OR Troup (?) in some weird way (?) but I know a few cities are circling around the carcass like buzzards, so this revenue stream was a huge plus! read more
