Junior Kimbrough’s Juke Joint on Google Earth

Few people know that you can scrub back in time on Google Earth revealing all kinds of fun historical stuff. I even found Hitler’s lair before we bombed it into oblivion (mess with the US and Allies and find out). I went through the years and found Junior’s Juke Joint outside of Holly Springs, Mississippi. Here is a Google Earth breakdown. Enjoy.

While investigators continue to probe the cause of the blaze, locals are mourning the loss of a small building that was home for a fertile North Mississippi blues community.
