I went into this store several times when I was a kid with my grandfather. Seeing all that fresh produce reminded me of the best tomatoes I have ever had in my life! The veggies grown in that good ole NC clay were and I am sure are still the best! My grandfather was a road contractor and I remember standing up there on the what is now I-26 (it was not finished back then) on the eastern continental divide. He said watch this and he took a wooden match out and threw it off the bridge and it was falling so fast that the friction actually lit the match! Just memories that you will never forget. I sure loved listening to the Mayor, Tangie speak in the video. She is a wealth of info and she throws in that dry humor too!

What a grand little store with lots of neat items. I saw an old Coca-Cola sign in the background at the 24:10-24:23 mark. I have that same piece of signange and have never seen another. It's the lady with the pink dress and hat. It's called "Miss Betty". I'm not sure if hers and mine are the same, but I'll have to travel there to check it out. I'm told the sign I have may be the top part of a monthly calendar poster with the monthly calendar part missing. It's dated 1914. Another awesome video.

This store reminds me so very much of the store I ran when I was 20 years old In northern Ontario Canada. The same style inside, it brings back so many wonderful memories. Thank you for this labor of love you do with this channel. Because of this channel so many people will be able to see what it was like so many years ago.

Nothing like a general store! I love the many smells frome leather to wood. Don't forget the sounds, hardwood floors under your feet , to the cooler starting up! Need to save as many of these treasures as possible. I remember as a child getting balsa wood airplanes, howbout you? Thank you for sharing!
