Silver Dollar Destined to Reappear

Who knew that the newly opened Windfall Trading Post has a silver dollar embedded in the floor? Nearly 60 years ago, Douglas Anderson, co-owner and manager of Moore’s Grocery, expanded the store to include the storefront next door. When he had a new floor poured, he carefully sank a shiny silver dollar flush with the floor in front of the meat counter. Over the years, foot traffic wore the coin smooth. During the recent renovation, it was painted over, but it is near the swinging doors to the kitchen and will reappear soon as the paint wears off. Submitted by Ray Harding.
