Freakin’ kids these days have no idea how easy they have it compared to us back in the day.

I remember places like this from my childhood.

Little snippets came rushing back when I watched this.

This is what American used to look like and it was this way for a long time.

Clear into the 70’s I can remember little Mom and Pop markets and stores in neighborhoods all over every county I visited.

Sometimes they were the local neighborhood store and sometimes they were way out in the boonies, serving small communities that were far flung but had at it’s heart, a little Market/ General Store/Gas Station/Post Office that the owners lived behind or on top of.

Miles away from anything else.

They were often the only thing that you could point to as the center piece of a community besides a church and were quite often just a wide spot in the road.

If you had this in your childhood, you were lucky.

Simpler Times.

The ghosts of my kinfolk call my soul back to the Hollers I have never set foot in.
