Well, it kinda looks like a fillin' station to me.

I'm going to say it was a little country store like my grandparents used to run in a small town in south Georgia. Too small for buggies or even aisles though. Most folks just came up to the counter and asked for what they wanted. I used to help run the store when I stayed with them in the summertime, learning to fill orders, weigh and wrap pieces of cheese sliced from the big wheel of it under the counter, and even make change from the cash register when the customers paid. My reward was usually an ice cold Orange Crush or RC Cola from the drink box. Good memories!Loishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10737705457021667861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926263351972017306.post-42861302875473075152017-01-12T08:35:48.942-05:002017-01-12T08:35:48.942-05:00Debbi, I just love how you think!

Your memories, and my own, so alike even to the descriptive phrasings. I can just SMELL the interior of each and every establishment you describe, down to the odor of the perm solution, the deep black rubber of the tires, and the icy/salt/black rubber gasket of the Co-Cola case. How I love your adventures and travels, and I think your imagination is the bestest TRIP of all!<br /><br />I can almost make out "BELL'S SUPER STORE, but that could be a name for dozens of places, with their bygone breezes from another time, another us. I just can't figure out the door configuration, and lack of windows necessary to most of those places we think of. Maybe the wooden doors were hurricane coverings, and there is plate-glass under there, safe from the off-road invitation to vandals?<br /><br />Girl, you DO beat all.<br /><br />Stay well and warm,<br /><br />rRachelDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11204947567574886675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926263351972017306.post-22722363206097548142017-01-10T20:00:38.773-05:002017-01-10T20:00:38.773-05:00What a fun post!

It look like the last word is STORE...but it reminds me of a garage with the big doors that open. It may have been several things over the years! Great photos and fun info. I love traveling back in time!
