Little Country Store closes it's doors


So sad to see this country store is closing.....Many a memory was made riding bikes to this store....with cards attached to our bicycle wheels with clothespin to make a motoring sound....Trading in grape Nehi bottles to get nickels for candy, icecream, or A&W rootbeer....The good old days ♥


Many memories were made on hot summer days....when all one could do was ride a bike and this little country store was the closest thing to our house.  Soda from a glass bottle never tasted so good or so refreshing after riding up to this store after racing friends and cousins on our bikes. You didn't feel like a kid, you felt so independent and free.  Riding your bike with a little change in your pocket knowing you were going to be able to buy yourself a little treat.  Pop Rocks, candy cigarettes...indulging in all the forbidden candy that our mom's would never buy for us!  The doors may close on a country store, but may our memories always remain open to us of a time gone by.
