Favorite Old Photo: Old Coburg Store, ca 1940s 2015-01-16 - Coburg, KY - Photo from the collection of Larry Smith, FM 92.7 the WAVE and FM 99.9 The Big Dawg. Wow! If this old store were still standing in Coburg, KY, it would be the biggest attraction in the area. Would love to know more about it. There are cues in the photo - the old Chevy coupe, the Texaco signs, the hand pumped glass bowl gas dispensers, and the advertising signs. Any comments would be appreciated. - Larry Smith, Operations Manager, Shoreline Communications. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
