I remember when we used to go up to visit it was the place to go to get Christmas gifts even. Most folks go to "town" for that now but still do some shopping local, or if they're like me they do a lot of shopping at Amazon. Hard to find any kind of store anymore that doesn't reek of the scented candles.Pam https://www.blogger.com/profile/05979446142128610261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565671130289537623.post-68308958264758625482014-12-09T20:13:51.445-07:002014-12-09T20:13:51.445-07:00I remember the General Store, and also the 5 &...I remember the General Store, and also the 5 & 10 cent stores, and the milk man delivering to your door step, and the ice man too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565671130289537623.post-65855470918219557542014-12-08T20:48:12.209-07:002014-12-08T20:48:12.209-07:00The gravity gas feed pump was at the Morrison chee...The gravity gas feed pump was at the Morrison cheese factory.

A gas station where you had to work a long vertical handle to pump the gas up into a large glass container at the top, which container was marked off in gallons and parts thereof. And the Baumgartner General Store had all you mentioned, plus the all-important freezer lockers for rent. <br /> Now all gone. Good memories from hard times.<br />bgarmirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04962104790898454202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565671130289537623.post-5792698021721535462014-12-07T20:38:52.151-07:002014-12-07T20:38:52.151-07:00Great photo.

When I lived in Camino, CA I had 5 or 6 black australops, supposed to be one of the best egg-laying hens. They produced the best eggs! Then I got some of those fancy little chickens, bantams, and my dog ate them all. :( Some day I'd love to have chickens again.
