Can you post the photo? If we can see it we could answer better.

Thanks for the reply. It's not one of my pics, it's in a book you can buy locally.

Anyone remember Dinky Burger at the top of the valley in Reeds Spring? The old building is still there...looks like its about to fall any day now.

I remember Dinky's also.  If you go to the Underground Ozarks website they explored the old place.   I still have a plastic cup from when we would eat there.

Also, the Shepherds Bookstore was always a favorite place for us to spot as we drove along.  It always just looked so lonely.  I ventured up one of the broken highway segment in 2006 and found the ruins of the old store.

We placed a geocache in that area to tell people about the old book store.

Branson Talk / Sign near Jesse James Motel? 1960's

We are new to this forum and a friend linked us to this. We love the history of this area.

Looking at an old pic - On the same side of the street there is a sign that possibly has a bird on it. And across the street from that is a sign that seems to start with an R and ends with an S. Just curious, anyone know what those were?
