Tamara Zelaya told me about her Grandfather having a country store in her hometown West Carrollton in western Ohio. She is looking for some photos of her Granddad and the store that I will post on a future Buzzyblog post.
In the meantime, she also told me about another Store in West Carrollton – Woody’s Market. (Click on this link to read how Woody Bowman started his market and grew to become a highly successful business.)
Woody’s also has a “I Remember Woody’s Market” FB page which is worth checking out for comments from many folks who shopped and/or worked there:
Found this photo of Woody on the FB site. Guess he always had a soft spot for watermelons since they were the reason for his start and subsequent success.
Located on the Great Miami River, West Carrollton has a great park and dam. Check out this video and be sure to catch the surfers at 1:00 mark:
Some river music here from Enya:
