The Twinkies are still good!
Very cool! Thanks for posting it, SunkenCiv...:)

Luckily for it that it was not located in a black urban setting. That place would have been ransacked years ago
That is so cool. Thanks!
What state?
Wonderful stuff and people. Thanks!!
A more civilized time.
I would probably love the place. I have a fondness for old country stores. Each one seems to have something unique about it that makes it different from the previous ones.
There is an old store hereabouts that closed in the 70’s. Full of horse collars, galvanized tubs, kerosene lamps and lanterns. My dad said it was like stepping back into his childhood.
The store still stands, is still closed and is still full of treasures.
When the old couple who ran it died their kids couldn’t bear to sell the property off deciding to keep it as it was. The grandkids and great-grandkids are now taking care of the place.
Its now part of family history. A kind of “this is where we came from”.
Fascinating. Obviously someone has been cleaning and sorting. I had to laugh at some of his assumptions about old time stuff, like thinking that tin tank on the top of a clothes iron meant it was “gas powered.” Most likely that was a water tank for an early model steam iron.
No thanks. Be my luck a scary dude with a chainsaw would be offended I was in his store.
Looks like a good tourist attraction. Charge a few dollars to walk thru.
Wow! Thanks for posting!
Cool!
Watching the video, the things that struck me the most were that everything was positioned perfectly, and there wasn’t a speck of dust in sight.
I was still in diapers when that store was closed. Interesting to see what was on the shelves of stores around the time I was born.
Can you imagine American Pickers walking through the door?
I have an old Life magazine from January, 1953 that has a photo of my dad in it when he was an officer in the MP's stationed in Berlin. He was briefly assigned to escort a Life photographer named David Douglas Duncan who was doing an expose' on the smuggling of materials out of Germany to Russia....
There also is a Kodak picture of dad and Duncan in dad's office sitting as his desk and drinking coffee......
