Backwoods version of Walmart


This is a funny set of photos from a little wooden store we found in Chantilly. It cracked us up just to read the sign. You can pay your bills,get a money order, buy some jeans or boots, get some groceries, have some coffee, and even buy live bait all in this little store. We had to see the inside. Don't you love the row of not just cowboy hats, but derby hats as well?? We thought the cowboy hat adorned with shark teeth was particularly cool on Gayle. Sarah and LaDawna discovered (and purchased and smoked) the grape flavored cigars. For variety, though, they are also available in peach and lime flavors..... mmmmmmm.... yeck. I thought the stocking of the shelves was ingenious... if you need boots, corn, or salt,they are all on the same set of shelves... LOL. And if you need any personal items, you can buy a thirty year old bottle of Prell, a cup of castor oil, or a box of very, very, very dusty tampons. The icing of it all was the eggs. At both registers there was a plastic basket of cracked hardboiled eggs sitting out on the counter available to purchase.... makes ya hungry doesn't it? Posted by Hello
