I have so many fond memories of "country stores" when I was a kid. Remember penny candy and getting two cents for returnable empty Soda bottles? BC headache powder? Box matches? Free air pumps? Moon pies? Window shaker air conditioners and some electric fans with streamers tied to them so they fluttered in the cool air? Seems like all the country stores sold bait, shotgun shells, and bullets especially bricks of .22 long rifle. In some Southern states a few sold the good old fireworks like cherry bombs and M-80s. I loved the old tin roofs and the creaky wood floors. Then there was all the signage for Coca Cola, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper and others. Some really great country stores often featured a porch with benches and or even rocking chairs. Many were filling and or service stations. Sometimes you could find fresh local produce. Thank you Lord for letting me have such things in my life.
