Bus Station

Bus Station, 137 Piedmont Ave

(now Pete’s Grill)

Bus service from Greensboro to Burlington had a Carolina Trailways bus depot here. The building next door at 139 Piedmont Street was the original Hursey BBQ which started here in 1945. The local movie theater used to get first run films by making a deal with the bus driver to “lose” the movies for one night on their way from the big city theatres in Greensboro to Burlington.
