The Bethel Store, located at 7743 Main Street in Bethel, is a two-and-a-half-story, three-bay frame Colonial Revival store constructed circa 1900. The roof is front-gabled with a box cornice and is clad in composition shingles. The main entryway is recessed in the center bay on the southeast façade, and consists of a pair of wood partially glazed doors with sidelights and transoms. The transom above the doors reads “Historic Bethel Store est. 1900.” There is a widely overhanging flat-roofed awning supported by triangular brackets that covers the storefront and wraps around to the southeast and northwest façades. There is a secondary entrance on the southwest façade that consists of a single wood door accessed by a brick step. Fenestration consists primarily of wooden two-over-two light double-hung sash windows with simple entablature, though the storefront consists of paired plate glass windows with paired transoms above. The storefront houses the only windows on the first floor. The exterior walls are clad in wood weatherboard with wood corner boards and a brick foundation.
The Conway store is closing. The same store closed almost exactly a year ago but reopened soon afterward.
Big event of the day ... the White Hen Pantry became a 7/11 and immediately closed! Sept. 22nd was the first day it was closed.
Small General stores in every city of Pakistan provide general merchandise to local population of the area and help fulfill their daily household needs. Even though Tariq Iqbal is in his fifties and getting older day by day, but he likes to earn his livelihood in an honorable way and runs a general store from where he earns bread for his family. He took an interest free loan to expand his business and increase variety of merchandise in his shop and the profits were more then doubled as he had anticipated.
they turned the gift shop into a Magritte store, bowler hats and clouded umbrellas included. After all, this is America :-D
Quilt store? When I think of all the marathons, and bike stores, and guitar stores, and noisy concerts I have dragged Margo to I have no problem spending time in a quilt store with her - it's only fair.
Straight out of the 1001 arabian nights Ursa Bazaar is like an eastern palace. A fata morgana in SL a must see. One can only hope to bump into the prince of persia himself around there. In a pavilion by the water UrbanizeD shows a selection from the summer wicker furniture.

What do you do when you run out of siding space for stored out of use wagons (cars)? Lift them off their bogies (trucks) and plonk them in a paddock, of course.
An otherwise unremarkable paddock near Werris Creek NSW.
A dollar store mini tripod head attached to a dollar store clamp.
I used a slightly longer bolt than the original and washer to attach the head to the clamp. Great for a flash or point and shoot camera. Maybe some rubber on the clamp so it won't leave marks. Cost $2 :) er..plus taxes.

This store was opened in 1878 by Sherwood and Wright and by 1885 it was trading as Sherwood & Co Wine, Spirit and Provision Merchants.By 1925, when William Jelley purchased the business, it was known as London House. It passed through several hands as follows:
Sherwood and Co (1880-85)
O. Henry (Merchant)
Belfast Stores
Talboys (Drapers)
Jelley Brothers (Drapers)
John Ferris Furniture
Bob Howard Electrical Ltd - continued trading until 1982.
Mrs Jelley later sold the building to the Ministry of Works. The building was demolished, stored and later reconstructed on its present site using the same stones.
George Stumbles General Merchant
This business was established in 1868 by Bendix Hallenstein a storekeeper in Queenstown who opened a branch in Cromwell. In 1886 James Kerin purchased the business and ran it until 1909 when he sold it to one of his employees George Stumbles. George ran the grocery store until he retired in 1945 and his sons George Jnr and Bert took over the business. The business continued selling groceries until it was relocated to The Mall in 1985. The building was demolished to make way for the formation of Lake Dunstan.

Running the store counts as homeschool, right? Learning to read candy bar labels and do math on the cash register?
Actually, we're done with school for the year. And that's a great thing, because the camp store is a bit short-handed this month.
Market Mall in Saskatoon is a pretty big mall, for a residential neighbourhood in Saskatoon. And while it is somewhat cool, it really is a mall that could one day be abandoned. All of the major stores in the mall, including Shoppers Drug Mart, Safeway and Zellers are often deserted. So, it was odd, when I saw that this Zellers store has these huge signs everywhere around their store, inside and outside. In fact, outside, there were people standing on street corners holding sticks with these kind of signs on them.
During a day of shopping we came across this dog guarding his store. Clearly comfortable in his sexuality, he displayed this trait through his colourful pink nail polish (check the large size if you don't believe me).
In December 1883, Aaron McLaughlin Richey (1837-1912), with his wife and daughter, came from Missouri and settled near the mouth of the Cotee (an abbreviation of the Indian name Pithlachascotee) River. His homestead's location became familiarly known as Richey Point.
Shortly after, he established a post office and called it Port Richey. He was its first postmaster, and also opened a small store at that location. Because of his travels by boat along the river and coast to deliver mail and packages - and ferry passengers when needed - he was soon known as Captain Richey.
The actual beginning of New Port Richey dates from 1911, when W. E. Guilford drew up a plan for a future city further inland on the Cotee River. He surveyed locations for many of the proposed city's streets and avenues, and his plan has been followed with very little deviation since that date.
George Sims and Elroy Avery
After George R. Sims moved to the city in 1916 and opened the Sims Land Office, the development of New Port Richey was steady and rapid.
On December 22, 1919, Dr. Elroy M. Avery founded the Avery Library and Historical Society (now the New Port Richey Public Library and The West Pasco Historical Society). The Avery Library opened its doors to the public in April 1920, and provided impetus for the founding of the City of New Port Richey.
On October 27, 1924, residents voted 201:4 in favor of incorporating New Port Richey, and chose Elroy M. Avery as their first mayor. He was sworn in on October 29, 1924.
That December, George Sims deeded his land around Orange Lake, then popularly known as Enchantment Park, to the city's residents in perpetuity. Because of the brand-new city's Ordinance One, the beautiful riverfront gathering spot in the center of town (now known as Sims Park) will forever belong to the people of New Port Richey.
Hollywood of the East
While wintering in Great Neck, New York (a gathering place for film and stage luminaries), George Sims met one of Hollywood's leading movie stars of the silent era, Thomas Meighan, sometimes called "the John Wayne of his day." Due to Mr. Sims's influence, Thomas Meighan built a home in New Port Richey, and was instrumental in attracting other stars to join him in what he called his "favorite Florida city."
Notable residents and frequent guests in New Port Richey included Irving Berlin, Paul Whiteman, Babe Ruth, Raymond Hitchcock, Ed Wynn, Leon Errol, Blanche Ring, Charlotte Greenwood, Joseph Santley, Gloria Swanson, and many others. Golfer Gene Sarazen moved here also, and invented his famous "sand wedge" in New Port Richey.
Screen comedic great Ed Wynn opened The Palms, the first motion picture theater in New Port Richey. Shortly thereafter, the Richey Amusement Company, a corporation composed of local businessmen, opened the Thomas Meighan Theatre on July 1, 1926 in tribute to Mr. Meighan, whose influence brought so many sports and entertainment luminaries to the city.
In 1928, Jesse L. Lasky, producer for Hollywood's Famous Players-Lasky (later Paramount-Lasky) film studio, visited New Port Richey and expressed a desire to “one day join [Thomas] Meighan and others in a colossal motion picture studio enterprise in this vicinity.” In November and December 1933, Harry Miller and William Zimmer of Paramount Pictures also visited, seeking a possible studio location.
For all these reasons, New Port Richey became known as the “Hollywood of the East.”
Hollywood and the Hacienda
On March 4, 1926, James E. Meighan, brother to Thomas Meighan, donated land for the construction of a new Spanish Colonial Revival-style hotel befitting the city's growing popularity with arts, society, and sports luminaries.
The Hacienda opened on February 5, 1927 with Ed Wynn serving as Master of Ceremonies for Thomas Meighan, Gloria Swanson, Lupe Velez, and Ann Harding, among other notables, and was a popular gathering spot for sports and entertainment figures for many years. It was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on October 24, 1996.
Although the Great Depression ended these days, several palatial homes and historic properties, The Hacienda, and the Thomas Meighan Theatre (now the Richey Suncoast Theatre) bear silent witness to New Port Richey's glamorous past.
