I grew up in McMinnville Tennessee and I remember the building it was at from what I was told about it At one time I believe it was a camera store. She was from Winchester originally. I have talked to some of the old timers that knew about the place. I think they were here in the 20s and the store was called Shores. McMinnville was also home to Dottie West. She was my dads cousin but I never got the chance to meet her.
