Remember Bob
Halliday of Bob's Garage? I have had a
few articles about him in Chicken-fat.
The Marietta Journal has had at least one article about him. And GEORGIA, a magazine for REMC
subscribers, had an article about him.
He was
unique because through experience he gave himself a self-education, of
restoring old things. He restored old
cars, old service station gas pumps,
juke boxes, pin-ball machine, and I am sure many other things.
His Bob's
Garage in off Shallowford Road in Marietta.
A dog park
friend's son bought something for over a $1000 that needed restoring. He took it to Bob and Bob gave him the price
of several thousand bucks and told my friend's son that he was running a few
months behind, so bring it over, along with half the payment, and he would get
to it as soon as he could. Which the
young man obliged.
Then Bob
died.
The last I
heard Bob' Garage is locked up and the widow is on an extended trip.
So, where
does that leave the young man who left his funky electric machine to be
refurbished and the down payment?
I am sure
this happens a lot with one-owner businesses,
but it seems
it would be a universal problem.
