I remember buying 45's at Pickett's throughout my high school years. Wasn't the building located just west of the old Dairy Queen? One time, I went in to Pickett's to buy a 45 but I didn't know the title or band, so I hummed the song for Tom. He went over to where he kept the 45's and picked it out (the song was Pictures Of Matchstick Men by the Status Quo). Did someone tell me that the building Pickett's was in burned down? I don't know what year he moved out to National Road, where he is today. I wonder what ever happened to William Fisher and Ronald Rhoades, the two boys in this 1962 ad. That's quite an acknowledgement, to be voted the finest elementary guitar and mandolin players in the United States! |

Tom Pickett's was on the corner of 25th and Home just as you say. All the kids from the high school would go over there to smoke, so the rest of us non-smokers called it "cancer corner". One morning in 1980, 1981 or 1982 (the years I went there) we woke up to the radio news that Tom Pickett's had blown up. It was a gas line leak. We all wondered how many smokers went up in smoke, too, that we would get to see when we got to school. None did, it was too early in the morning. Anyway, then Tom Pickett's opened on National Road where he is now.
