For 2021, I am bringing back a blog feature I haven't used in a while - Postcard Tuesday, where I'll feature a vintage Tennessee post card each week.
Here is an antiquated business that we don't see any more: Worm stores. Of course, you can go to any convenience near a lake and get nightcrawlers, but near a century ago there were businesses which specialized in worms, and almost operated as tourist stops. If you view this post card full size, some of the messages are:
Thru these gates pass the best people on Earth - My friends - The Fishermen
This is not a circus, It's Hughes Worm Ranch
SEE the Unique worm ranch - World's largest
The Worm Ranch even employed ladies to dig through the dirt to capture the worms.
Worms were so important in Savannah that a local radio station had the letters WORM, and they still operate today
