As a kid growing up I used to work in a place almost identical to this…worked 26 hours on the weekends after school for $9.00…Also…seems that I’ve seen this before..or another store like this up on one of the mountain roads going to Lake Lure around Ashville…love that place…you’ve captured the essence, in detail of a time when things didn’t seem quite so complicated…Love this shot James…
