Speaking with relatives about family history, I am often told to keep this piece of information between you, me and the gate post. Respecting sensibilities, I will share my family stories entwine with historical events from Copiah, Jefferson and Lincoln Counties, Mississippi, from gate post to gate post.
What a poignant sight--I'm always sad when I see abandoned buildings, though I've discovered that I'm also saddened when abandoned buildings are torn down because then the memory of the place is quickly lost.
I miss the buildings from my childhood that have been torn down, especially when it is replaced with a new building. The memories of the old is quickly lost.

Oh how sad it looks! At it must have sold "76" gas, too. I bet they sold RC's and ice cream sandwiches there (my favorite old store snacks!).
