Another classic NC barbecue ad from this great tumblr. From what I can deduce from a quick Google search result, Casey’s was a barbecue restaurant in Greensboro circa 1956 that may have been just outside of the present day UNC-Greensboro campus near the intersection of Friendly Avenue and N. Aycock St.

I used to live on Fairway Drive when I was a kid and we always got our BBQ from Casey’s. They used to have a cancelled check in the window from Andy Griffith for the princely sum (1958 dollars) of $5000.00! The story goes that he had a cast party for the show and wanted people to know what North Carolina BBQ was all about! When they closed we started going to Stamey’s with a once a year stop at Rehobeth Methodist Church’s fund raiser BBQ supper!
