A lot of things have changed in 50 years in Yazoo, but one thing that hasn’t is that Stub’s has always been among the city’s most popular restaurants.
It was 50 years ago last week that Bentonia sisters Lucille and Mary Thomas Stubblefield opened Stub’s next to the old Yazoo Motel in the Four Points area.
Stub’s quickly became a Yazoo favorite, and continued to grow when Jack and Alease Fagan purchased the restaurant from the Stubblefields in 1978. The Fagans moved to Yazoo City from Birmingham, Ala.
“Jack and Alease Fagan were wonderful people,” said Bobbie Sue Stevens. “I worked for them for a short while, and so did my mother. They were very fun to work for, and I will never forget my experience working for them at Stub’s.” -------for the rest of the story see The Yazoo Herald printed edition or subscribe to the Digital Edition.----------
Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
