Here we see the Jamestown General Store. Although only open since 2003, this family business seems like it could have been around since the 1950's. They serve ice cream, hot dogs, sundry products, local artwork, and oldtiques. They are very open to trying new products and making available items that their customers request and love getting to know their customers. We hope you enjoy supporting these locally-owned businesses as much as we do.
Located just a few minutes down the road from Greensboro, the Jamestown General Store is definitely worth a visit. We like to go on Saturday when people are out selling fresh produce and in the summer when nearby City Lake Park is open. If you are a train fan, we heard and saw two in the hour we were in downtown Jamestown.
If you notice, we are publishing with one comment already. Bill B., and perhaps others, saw this post when it was mistakenly published for three hours, yesterday. Bill B., if we ever run in to you in public, we owe you a cup of coffee!
Looks like a trip back to the '50s. Not that I remember them, of course.

Woo, you could play giant chess on that floor.
Oldtiques? Is that a real word? New to me.

Thanks for your very interesting comment just now. Meanwhile I found a website where we can hear Lamentations chanted: http://virtualcantor.com/tbav.htm.
Sure, I would never miss your Sunday posts.

Oldiques! You've just coined a much-needed word. It aptly defines those old things that are not yet, and may never be, antiques. I first read it as "oddiques" which is another coinage we ought to have in the dictionary. JTM

Just excellent...not only because it stirs ancient memories, but the photo captures that 50s ambiance...and the colors and lines are striking!

This reminds me of "soda shops" of my youth...well, actually I was very young then:) I'm not sure what "oldtiques" are, but I think I have several of them around my house.

Nice place! The colors are so fresh - bold red and yellow on classic checker - fabulous!

I'll have a chocolate malt and hot dog, please! Great photo - it belongs in a magazine. In fact, the Jamestown General Store should display it on the home page of their website.
