Ampersand Express: 1943
March 1943. "Charlotte, North Carolina. Truck and warehouse district." Starring A&P & G&H. Acetate negative by John Vachon for the Office of War Information. View full size.
GMC & Mack
I rarely see a Mack truck these days (in California).
Truck in then, dine-in now
The warehouse in the background has survived as an Event Center known as
The Terrace at Cedar Hill. A&P occupied the two buildings on the right in the main photo - the left one was a bakery - plus one across what was Hill Street (from where this shot seems to have been taken.) The building to their left belonged to to the Loose-Wiles Biscuit Co. In both photos, we're looking east on what is now Westmere Avenue.
Ampersands Galore!
Very clever captioning! Bravo!
