DID YOU KNOW? 🤔 With the help of a $1,000 gift DID YOU KNOW? 🤔 With the help of a $1,000 gift from his mother, Hugh Roy Smith began his professional career as a florist. 💐 In 1934 he expanded his operation to build his first greenhouse and opened a landscape business. 🌿 . H.R. Smith was known as the “king of the rhododendrons,” cultivated snapdragons, azeleas and crepe myrtles. He led a “Beautify Cornelius” campaign with then mayor Harold Little in 1976 and planted trees and shrubs along the railroad tracks 🛤and street corners. . Rows of his crepe myrtles still stand along Main St near the location of the original train depot 🚂 and Brick Row, which was a garden officially dedicated to his honor in 1983. 🥀 . . #oldtowntales #hughroysmith #corneliusnc #flowershop #freshflowers #azelea #crepemyrtle #snapdragon #beauty #townspirit

“We must discover the power of love, the power, “We must discover the power of love, the power, the redemptive power of love. And when we discover that we will be able to make of this old world, a new world. We will be able to make men better. Love is the only way.” ~ MLK ❤️ . #peace #love #mlkday #revdrmartinlutherkingjr #leader #leadwithlove #ihaveadream #martinlutherlingjr

DID YOU KNOW? 🤔 This building on Catawba Avenue DID YOU KNOW? 🤔 This building on Catawba Avenue's origin predates the town's incorporation date? Historians have dated construction of this hub to be the late 1880s, several decades before the town of Cornelius was incorporated in 1905. It has served as a bustling center of activity for residents, housing everything from a dime store🛒 (pictured here, owned and operated by the Crouse family), a pet shop🐱,consignment store👗, a boat repair shop🛶, a boutique and spa💅 to today's beloved Old Town Public House🍻. OTPH is home to a coffee shop and tap room and live music and performance venue. The neighborhood pub embodies all the elements that bring community together in an authentic way, that has happened in these walls for over a century! 👏👏👏 . . #ifthesewallscouldtalk #oldtowntales #otph #oldtowncornelius #corneliusnc #history #cheers #neighborhoodpub #community #lkn @oldtownpublichouse @publicgroundsnc
