of time my daddy would bring things off the road. Umm where he

could get a variety of stuff, you know, so we didn't depend too

much on stores when I was high school.

 (Ms. Daily): Could you describe where your family went the

barber shop or the beauty shop?

 (Mrs. Shannon): Umm hum, we went on Third Avenue to Mrs.

Green's beauty shop. Mrs. Green was mother's friend but Fanny had

a beauty shop on Third Avenue near Eighth Street near Greater

Bethel Church...Eighth Street and a lot of people did their own,

you know, (laughter) it wasn't such a big thing to go to the

hairdresser. I got to go the hairdresser when I was graduated from

high school (laughter) and Mrs. Green gave me those little Shirley

Temple curls, it was a mess.

 (Ms. Daily): Could you describe where your family went to the

drugstore?

 (Mrs. Shannon): Yeah, we had to go, well we had Busby right

down on Twentieth and Sixth, Sixth ah Sixth Court. Ah Busby's

Sundries, they sold some groceries...what time is it?

 (Ms. Daily): About 15 minutes to 12.

 (Mrs. Shannon): Umm see but when we really wanted to, to get

prescriptions and stuff like that we went to Ward's Drugstore down

there on Eleventh Street and Third Avenue.

 (Ms. Daily): Could you describe where your family went to the

 cleaners?

 (Mrs. Shannon): Cleaners? Most of the stuff was put in the

 machine (laughter) but ah, my dad would always bring cleaning stuff
