St. Mary’s County Historical Society recently held their annual meeting and featured a discussion of old time Country Stores as community centers.  Unfortunately for me I had some scheduling issues that evening and couldn’t attend the meeting but sure would like to have heard what all was said.   

Here for you is a nice article from the County Times on the meeting. For full article click here and scroll down to page 6.).)

Had I been able to attend the meeting though, I could have provided some insights on what it is like to own and operate a country store that TODAY continues to serve as a community center. Granted, Buzzy’s doesn’t sell groceries nor hardware but still it continues to be a place where folks can relax and talk about whatever they care to talk about.  And believe me, talk is the key word.  

Toby has some other thoughts on talking.  I respect his opinion.  However, he too will someday reach an age where more talk and less action is the preferred approach to life.
