Cool article in Sunday’s Washington Post Magazine on the Something Different Country Store in Urbanna, Virgina click here Excerpt follows:
Dan Gill is a guy who used to be a farmer outside Urbanna, Va., working fields his family had owned for decades. When he got tired of laboring most of the year only to lose $40,000 to $50,000 in the fall, he quit farming and bought a nearby convenience store. But then the convenience store started losing money. So, Gill turned the place into a country store. And because he needed “something different” to draw people to the weather-beaten clapboard building hunched alongside a quiet road in Virginia’s Middle Peninsula, he turned the country store into a purveyor of surprisingly inventive regional cuisine — traditional foods with a twist.
While checking out the article, also make it a point to review the photo gallery. Aside from having good food, looks to me like ole Dan also knows how to hire good i.e. attractive help:
