This cute little market has been in business since 1929! We were just driving by when the sign caught my eye and I snapped a quick photo from the truck window. Getting this post ready I read that the owner just passed away last year and they were worried the store would close...a Go Fund Me page was started and money was collected and now the store has been able to remain open! I learned all that from THIS news article...so happy to hear it won't be closing.

Too many of these types of stores have had to close so it's good this will remain to serve all of those who patronized it over the years.
ReplyDeleteClassic sign and it's great it will stay open. It's amazing what you can find, photograph and learn just by pressing a button riding in a truck through town.
ReplyDeleteA nice capture, Tanya.
This place was much beloved by the community! Sad that this was the son, so there is no one left to leave the place to. Not Sunny anymore..
ReplyDeleteGood that it is staying open.
ReplyDeleteNice to hear that people really care in this community!
