Frankie Tippet recently posted the following photo of Hall’s Store on Massey’s You Know You’re From St. Mary’s FB page. The comments reflect classic country store memories.
I then found this letter to the Enterprise discussing how Mr. Hall started in the store as a clerk in 1942 before he purchased it in 1958.
Although I did not know Elmer Hall, every time I go thru the traffic light there at Routes 5 and 245 I look over and think of him and his Store.
I re-watched Forrest Gump for the umpteenth million time the other night. For some reason his “Stupid is as stupid does” comments caught my ear, probably because I had just finished watching the evening news prior to the movie. That you know who I am referring to here is kinda sad isn’t it?
