Mashburn General Store
I used to spend summers with my Mashburn kin folk and worked for my uncle in this old "general store".
The road was dirt back then, with drink bottle tops flatten in the dirt out front. Old men sat around on drink crates, whittled, and swapped knives.
Parked outside would be tractors, pickups, and trucks with bulls waiting patiently in the back!
I can still hear the clink of 5 cent drinks in the water cooler, the slicer cutting cheese or bologna, and the smell of the oil based compound used to sweep up the floor.
Across the street, in Five Points, TN, is a new Mashburn Store, where my Aunt Louise still works.
