The building at 115 W. Main St. and the business it contains has long been a fixture in the rural community of Bethany.

Many readers are undoubtedly personally familiar with Muzzy’s Hometown Heating and Cooling of Bethany, a business that has a pedigree spanning six decades.

Shortly thereafter, he purchased the whole store from Crowder, running the two businesses out of the same building.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
