The 2013 Google maps image shows it was in business, but the roof is in poor condition. 2018 image shows a pristine roof but definitely out of business. House on left side shows signs of residents in 2019 but not after.
Most all my kin is in the Bristol,VA. area. Abingdon, Chilhowee,. My uncle, Roy Burke (RIP) was the sheriff of Chilhowee. My cousin Kenneth Fields (RIP) was a police officer there as well.
Would be nice if turned into a house. Kitchen, livingroom, dining room and bathroom on first floor. Second floor bedrooms, bathroom and den/study/man cave.
All I can say is I hope he left for a good reason. Maybe a better opportunity awaited him. Love the vintage signs, I actually collect those along with old fishing lures.
Im going to guess that dude made his and split. My guess; There could have been an illegal operation going. He thought he was going to get caught and got hell out of Dodge.
That heppened about 26yrs ago at a store here in JC, was selling drugs and was busted/closed down for over 10yrs. Someone else boought it and re[opened it. The Old Mountaneer was the name of it.
I've been to that store, It's only been closed for 10-12yrs dude, I can tell from the cig prices when you showed the inside, It's not that vintage, stop exaggerating. We have pop machines in my area at local stores that are the same as that pepsi machine you showed, not that old, gutters start coming off in 5-6 yrs if not cleaned out yearly, grass/weeds get out of control after just 2-3yrs if not mowed.
Not sure if it's still there but my little sister's dad lives next door so I'm pretty sure he still lives up stairs so be careful my friend folks ain't to friendly around there and my sisters dad has two giant dogs that could eat a man. Lol just saying

Any building that still has power is not abandoned. Someone owns it and is paying the taxes and power bill.
@@stanleyhape8427 agreed
It took me all of 5 minutes to find the owner and all the details on this property.
@@stanleyhape8427 ? WHAT HAPPENED?

I live 2 minutes down the road from here. Used to buy cigs here. I dont know what happened to the guy
@@seancgalliher7325 I heard nobody has
Those old signs just going to waste. Sad.
@@Artsells980 it is
I can't believe that they make that place abandoned and shut it down
@@destinyberry3518 me either
I'm surprised that you didn't take anything it's not like the owner is coming back last 10 years ago and went out of business. 🤔

That makes sense what's funny the power still on
