The Town Layout:
Based on a drawing provided by Bob Mohel, the town of Friendship straddled
Farm to Market Road 971 - the town's only paved street. The north
side of 971 had school buildings, seed house, gin and scale. The southside
had several residences along with the blacksmith, the Baptist church,
gas station, the Mohel "Beer Joint" and Bob's Barbecue Shack.
