Not only were there multiple aisles of ice fishing enclosures and auggers for drilling, there was basically flannel clothing to infinity and 8 or 9 aisles of fishing lures. Heck the gun aisles had a section of shotguns labeled home defense. And then there was the section of snowblowers, another section of tires including studded tires and chains for tires, all the animal feed one could ever need, all sorts of game meat jerky...........................
makes me nostalgic for a former local icon - Bennies, in Saybrook.
(u listening, auggy doggie? it's
Saybrooook, not saybrahk. never 'Old Saybrahk,' tho sometimes 'Old Saybroook.') store had everything like that, tho the tackle was salt water and not ice fishing, and no hay and grain.) u could buy an ironing board, a set of tires, and a bag of cotton candy all in one trip.
now, it's going to be a 'whole paycheck.' lovely. thanks a bunch, West. u and ur carpetbagger pals are going to try and kill our bucolic home.
when u headed for the checkout at Bennies, u couldn't miss a big table in front of them that always had a large selection of grab bag snacks, some weird, some normal, all inexpensive. the typical customer would exit the store, with a bag of firely hot nacho cheese curls, or apple flavored jellies, or jerky, and think 'huh. didn't think i was hungry when i came in.'
do they sell paint at that store? Bennies sold a lot of that, too.
and kayaks.
this is 'Brak'
i should get a local movement going that calls the invaders 'braks.'
