Frank Webb often tries to sneak a piece of candy or two to children while they wander around Webb’s Pharmacy.
He gets away with it a few times, but every now and then a Momma won’t allow it.
“I always tell them, ‘when you were that age, you got it,’” he smiled.
It’s those kind of memories that Frank enjoys looking back on with the history of his family’s pharmacy on Main Street.
“I have seen mothers bring in their babies,” he said. ‘Now those babies are bringing their own in here.”
Webb’s Pharmacy belongs on Main Street in downtown Yazoo. It just wouldn’t seem right without seeing the pharmacy’s sign on the right side of the road.
Since the 1880s, the business has offered its services with a dash of downhome friendliness. It has and always will be a family business with people who care about Yazoo. -------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.
