I have gone brain dead on the name, but the owner was in the excavation business. Had some really good times there for a couple of years.
Also there was a rumor about Grenville that it was the richest town in KY back in the late 60s and early 70s. Peabody had bought all the mineral rights in and around town and they had paid very well for those rights.
