Through the years, May 3
This was the scene at the old Blalack Motor Co., building at Fifth and Main in Cassville about 2 p.m. Monday, by nightfall the building was completely down. The structure, dating back to the late 1920° was being demolished to make way for a new Hardee’s fast-food franchise here. The franchise will occupy the entire block between Fifth and Sixth Streets, with a former service station building eliminated from the site earlier. Owners of the franchise say the business will be in operation within 45 days of construction start.
