We frequently pass by this little place, and I always think of bygone days when perhaps it flourished...now we're told "No Trespassing" on a small sign.
This store is like a blast to the past. Everything is antique and collectibles, like walking through a museum. The staff were very kind and allow me to take some photos.

A little country store, boarded up and forgotten by the side of the road. You have to wonder about the memories that it holds....
As always, your faves and comments are appreciated. Constructive criticism and suggestions are especially welcome as I believe they help to make me a better photographer. Thank you for taking the time to look at my photos.

This small community once had a health resort in the 1860's claiming cures from a crude oil springs. A small number of stripper oil wells are still active in this part of Appalachia in Eastern, Kentucky.
A word of thanks to Pat Clancy for posting a truly wonderful photo of this gem on his Flickr page earlier this year. It motivated me to take a little detour on a road trip I took back in June in the hopes of seeing this place. Apparently the general store was used in the 1988 Academy Award winning movie Rain Main.

One more of this old country store. Carpenter's Grocery in Max Meadows, VA., hasn't changed a lot in the last several decades. Blog article at: drivingbackroads.com/2021/06/13/carpenters-grocery-a-real...
The houses and yards behind this grocery are well maintained. I believe a gasoline tank, with it's manholes exposed and vent pipe leaning to the left of the electric service, is buried in front of the overhang columns. The risk of dealing with leakage over time and an expensive clean up, may be a factor. Probably one of the many "orphan tanks" left for the states to pay for removal and closure.
In my neck of the woods, country supply stores provide almost everything you need including the "kitchen sink". A down to earth "bushel and a peck" existence that suits me just fine.

Montour True Value Hardware Store. And yes they have everything including creaky wooden floors and nice people.
The front porch of an actual little country store somewhere on a back road not too far from Winchester Virginia. Not so sure I would want to sit a spell here but it was very picturesque anyway! It was closed last Sunday when we stopped by so Anita was reduced to rummaging around in her cooler to see what goodies she had brought to snack on. ;)
Located in Catawba County, NC. This was taken at the same location as the previous photo. The "B" in the word Catawba is so worn, it looks like "Catawpa Farm Service. See my note about the electric fence which was all around the building. I was standing close to it, so it would not be in the foreground of this shot. Many of the old buildings were "protected" by electric fences.

_Thomasboro General Store_
[6348-D7500-Neo]
Thomasboro, Screven County, Georgia USA
Appears that this business survived for many years with many additions. That is until the state highway bypassed this section.
No franchised stores in this area. Just the family owned and operated store that tries to stock a little bit of just about everything.
Muellersville Store/gas station. Believed to have been built between 1912-1919.
Muellersville is on Farm Road 109 six miles southwest of Brenham in southern Washington County. It had a post office by 1849 and a small country store owned by William Mueller in the early 1900s. German immigrants pioneered the rich farming area in the 1870s. This may be the original store.
The current owner hopes to open an antique store in the future.
The old general store in tiny Buffalo Hart,near Springfield,IL.,is about the last building left in town.It has been closed since the early '70s,its old wooden shelves still filled with a variety of merchandise.The town was once an important shipping point on the main line rail tracks that run through its center.It was named after a grove of white popular trees that stood out on the central Illinois tailgrass prairie,a small 3 acre remnant survives....
