jjmaccrimmonThis country store/attached home is a throw back to the days before WalMart gobbled up the local mom & pop stores. We found it last year and have since gotten a line on the property owner. This place is a time machine.
This was a guerilla shoot (in and out in about 15 minutes) because we believe the site was completely abandoned. We've subsequently learned the owners are elderly and live down the road a ways. The site is NOT posted so we slipped in and out quickly. For that reason and to protect it, I'm not showing any views of the front of the building. It sits on a very active street corner and is watched.
Outside view
Initial point of entry
Looking into the shop from the residential area.
At this point, we started drawing more attention than I felt was healthy so we quickly departed.
