Country Store


Aiken, Shelby County, Texas
One set of my grandparents once owned a store in Aiken.  Today it is just a spot in the road.

I like those old buildings. Reminds me of growing up in a small town.
I really like the B&W!

Super in monochrome, which gives this an old-timey feel.

I like to think of all the friendly chats that took place in businesses like this little store!

We had a place like this growing up. It's now closed but I remember how our neighborhood would shop there and chat. Very nice memories.

Very quaint. I was telling my friend the other day that we wanted to eat at a popular restaurant nearby on a historic road and she told me it was once her grandfather's country store. I had no idea. At least it got used for something good.

This is a classic style building. I really love it for its simplicity.
