page 172-173 of THE GEORGE WALLACE MYTH by Michael Dorman (1976)
"Many of the residents count it their fondest boast that they have known Wallace since he was a boy. The town has changed little in the intervening years. Most of the small stores and cafes currently surrounding Clio's main crossroads, at the intersection of Alabama highways 10 and 51, were there during Wallace's childhood. The section of Highway 51  running through Clio has, however, been renamed in recent years the Billy Watson Highway, in honor of longtime Barbour County political figure who was one of Wallace's early mentors. Along the Billy Watson Highway in what passes for Clio's downtown are such establishments as Joe Long's Grocery, Smith's Laundry Mat, the Carpenter Tractor Company, The Corner Cafe, and the Cup and Saucer Restaurant (whose window sign warns, 'No alcoholic beverages allowed'). Next door to Joe Long's Grocery stands a one-story brick building that serves as city hall. A garage adjoining the city hall houses the two local fire engines."
