Everybody for miles away used to come here to get their supplies. I wonder how many old country stores you could fit in the new modern buy everything in one place stores.

I see so many of these abandoned country stores too Dado. It always makes me sad when I do. For so many years they were probably the "hub " of the neighborhood. Great capture here, the B&W works really well.

It's funny you should bring this up, because we have a lot of "general stores" in the area in an attempt, I think to recreate the past, but in thinking on it, aren't the modern "buy everything in one place" stores just mirrors of the past? Nicely photographed .

I agree, there are not enough of these around anymore. PBR anyone? Very good shot, into my favorites. ;-)

Sorry that I haven't been commenting more. Just got lazy? But I did look at most of them. And again, thanks to all of you for your comments on mine. Steve

Use your imagination when photographing, that's when you know your subject is in focus.

This looks familiar. Is it on Houston Rd near Goodall Mill Rd? Good shot and nice use of b&w.

Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual. Edward Weston
