Love Monkey Junction. you knew when you were passing there that Carolina Beach was just down the road.

I recall it being an Esso station, ok an Exxon for you young ones. They also had a bar as part of it, and sold beer by the glass...early 70's.

Hey everybody, Bella...how're you doing girl ?

Do not know the story either.

Scott, I never heard the story behind the name Lizard Lick, do you know what is is?

Hey Scott.

Monkey Junction is a busy intersection in Wilmington( I think Hwy. 132, (or College Rd.) and Hwy. 421(Carolina Beach RD.) intersect there and end @ Ft. Fisher. There was a Service Station, and the owner had monkeys out front. If I remember right, it was a dangerous intersection, and a there were quite a few serious wrecks, ( not because of the monkeys!). Wilmington was small then, and Monkey Junction was a few miles out of town.

anyhoo; the store with the monkey thing is pretty interesting...

How about Lizard Lick?
