"Berdine's" America's Oldest Five and Dime Store

  I know this has nothing to do with gardening but I have to tell you about a place that is in the town that I grew up close to and visited this store weekly! It has been in many national magazines and the next time your are in this area., you need to step back in time and visit this Old five and dime! We take our kids there from time to time to share the experience and that's exactly what it is an experience! It opened in 1908 and today it's like stepping back in time to go shopping!
 Her is the link to Berdine's Five and Dime; and its located in Harrisville, West Virginia, just a few miles from North Bend State Park (my grandpa was the Master Carpenter that help build their lodge and my mom and brother used to work here)! Here are a few pictures I took on our last visit!

    I need to put this on our motorcycle route. Looks like a terrific place to stop and "rest" a bit. Thanks for sharing! :-)

    I love stores like that. I grew up working in my Dad's store, which was a pharmacy and a "fountain" where I served sandwiches, ice cream and such.

      Would it not be awesome to have places like that again. We would call that a super store now!
