Great photo, Just think of the area kids that would ride their bikes up to this old country store to buy pop or ice cream. Lots of the world's problems were solved in conversations at that place.

That's pretty cool. I was just in San Diego last month, and saw some cool places in the mountains East of SD. There's some great riding in California.

Oh, and those clamshell bags are sweet.

I`ve been by there. It`s about 26 miles SSE from where I live.

Did you go inside? The door was open, so I'm guessing that you did.

There was a general store up by me that has been closed for about fifteen years. Someone bought the building and put in a new store this spring. Maybe someone will reopen your store too.
