Here are two different views of the same country store in rural North Carolina in 1939. This is a wonderful pair as you can compare and contrast not only the two images taken at different times from just about the same position, but also it speaks volumes to the conditions in the South at the time both racially and economically. Plus, I absolutely LOVE all the advertisements and background details. Thanks to Google Maps, you can also see what it looks like today!
