The bit about Foggy Pine Books starts at 1:33 mark. Also has shout outs to First Baptist Church and Boone Saloon from Tom Hanks.

Super Cute!

that was awesome.

This is an incredible story. I must have been in the kitchen or bathroom when it aired during the Super Bowl. Sounds like it’s already paying off big for the store. Very cool!

This put a big smile on my face.

Sam Elliott, Tom Hanks and Stephen Colbert talking about Foggy Pine, King Street and Boone Saloon. What a time to be alive.

Speaking of which, I wish I was drinking a Turbodog at Boone Saloon playing pool right now.

Uh...who needs Eric Church? Tom Hanks and Sam Elliott know where we are!

Thanks for sharing, this was laugh out loud hilarious. Especially the Tom Hank's cameo!

Take the time to share it on facebook with your friends. I just did.

In 1972 when I was a freshman there was either a dentist or optician in that building who sold parking spaces. Don’t remember the cost but that’s where I parked all year when freshmen weren’t allowed to have cars on campus.

Optician

Cannot tolerate Colbert and his mouth.

Leave the politics out of it. I think he did us a solid.

He absolutely did us a solid. He's not only hilarious but a good old South Carolina boy to boot.

There used to be a map store there back in the 90s it seems.

I purchased a map there and they still owe me that map. Never got delivered. I am beginning to think I may never get that map now.

The mail is slow. Give it time.

I still own a small globe I bought from that store. I believe Dan Stillwell, a Geography professor at App, was one of the owners. Store was near the Carolina Pharmacy, one of my favorite places on King Street in the 70s.

I can’t tell for sure from the picture but that looks like Dr. Harmon’s office. He was an opthamologist and had an optician in there also. Bill Robinson, Lee Owen and I rented the apartment up stairs. We used to juke the Coke machine down stairs. This was Winter and Spring Quarters of 1967.

Does anyone know if Foggy Pine's has had a huge uptick in business since that commercial aired?

I saw a tweet from WBTV earlier this week saying that the owner said business was up pretty significantly on Monday. That's awesome.
