Oh my goodness. Those Flour sacks brought up so many wonderful memories from the past. With my minds eye, I can see my mother sewing dresses for my sisters. Mom and Dad would often go to the feed store to buy feed for the chickens and rabbits Dad raised. Mom would usually come back home with at least four floral printed sacks. Some were plain, these, she would make into dish towels. Yep, Spring and Summer you would see flower printed girls flitting around like butterflies.
John Gullo But if you had the southern hospitality there you wouldn’t have to dream of retiring and moving south. Grin grin. I live in a small southern town back up in the mountains where folks see someone they know while driving through town and it’s just fine to stop and speak a minute. We don’t blow horns and throw the finger we just drive around and toot at the people chatting and everyone waves.
OMGoodness I’d love to go there to browse around & then go out back for some good old fashion food!!! Shop some more then go out back again for a ice cream treat!!! I could happily spend the day there!!!
Talking about flour sacks. My grandad was a coal miner his entire life, like the men in his family before him. He died when I was 3 of black lung and heart attack getting up from the dinner table. That left granny with 11 younguns to raise. I have a quilt my granny made that is flour sacks on one side and grandpa's denim overalls on the other. I would trade the love that is in that quilt for nothing. I am 63 and I treasure it
Thanks Been there done that fantastic atmosphere and great food Will be back hope y’all are open hwy 127 N Tennessee been on that road from L.A. to Michigan L.A. =. lower alabama
Yes that's the Place to go/be at these crazy Times.Makes you forget the crap that drives People crazy nowadays.Hopefully that place will keep being in Business even so it's still partial lockdowns.
Never been there. To me though...this has got to be in the top five, most remarkable places on earth. A truely remarkable, nostalgic, quaint, wholesome, innocent, social gathering hole. I do have one question: Might I find home brewed root beer there?
Haha Cute Phrase "Field Clothes"! In 1964 when us Grandkids would barrel out of a Oklahoma BlackJack Missionary Baptist Church on a hot Summer Sunday, our Granny would often say to us, _"Alright Kids, you can go home and put on your "Snake Clothes!"_
yeah ive drove back in forth between tn ky and ohio many years and seen that place and stopped there a lot go to the right It will take you to to ky mt Vernon thru summer set MONTICELLO the used to have what they call spooky hollow but they cleared out the brush and made a bigger hwy into it
@@ricjohns545 I agree with you , Ric Johns: They are just displaying a strip and piece from history and the era. Not making any sort of commentary. It adds to the zeitgeist and authenticity. I basically have a massive collection almost to tthe point of or surpassing this store. I have much Black, African-American historical pieces such as this. You can call it historal Black ephemera, Sambo, Mammy, whatever art and history. I love it, and I am certainly no racist. I am a collector and historian. They did nothing wrong in displaying it, and this was a wonderful and fun trip down Memory Lane.
Looks like a fun place !!! That would be a great place to take the grandkids.
Wow! What a wonderful blast from the past.
I really enjoy stories from East Tennessee like this on Tennessee Crossroads.

The cafe in the back has wonderful burgers. Their ice cream concoctions are enormous.
This is a place to get LOST in time! Great place, great food!
My biker friends and me have rode up there a few times. Awesome store
This place is so cool!!!
Wow...like stepping back in a great time!!!! I fringing LOVE IT!!!! Yes....oorah!!!!
I love your store 🌸🌸🌸. You have everything and it’s so clean and organized. I would love to visit. Thank you 🦋
Wow I love it!!
Wish we had at least one restaurant in Desoto, Missouri where someone put so much love and passion into a restaurant and the food.
Me too.
I love your shows
Always on our list of go to places when we are staying in Crossville....
This was a great show. Took me back to shows like Charles Kuralt’s On The Road. We really do need more of this Americana celebration TV programming.
Agreed. I live in New Jersey and watch TC episodes every day. Sure wish we had some of that southern hospitality here!

I'm an Aussie. That store is a historical place. Love it. We have voracious termites here. Anything old and wood gets eaten.
Would like to visit someday. Nice and cool atmosphere.
Wow, lived in Crossville for a summer. :)

When I was a kid in Texas my grandma made her field cloths from floral print flour sacks .

Love it, Wouldn't mind making a trip that way myself for the experience, (clarksville myself) wonder if it's still open though.
yes, it is open and wonderful
@@southernbell8075 while nearby look up Muddy Pond an old Amish store
@@tennray definitely Muddy Pond.
I remember mother making some of my shirts from feed sacks. Red dog I think was the feed name.
Sounds like a fun place. We only have 1 mom and pop style eatery in Desloge Mo. All the rest are chain places. I feel your pain. :(

Reminds me of Texas County Reporter.👍
T. C. Lindsey and Co. General Store 👍
I think I've been there.
Ive got a catalog from CGS. Why didnt that enterprise succeed. That catalog had everything
How do you buy non line
Is it still there?
Indeed, it is.
Is it flooded?
I loved old general stores and was enjoying the video until frame at 1:37 & 1:39
@Brisdad53 Please explain what hate filled views I injected.

@@bonniehatfield3522 And to be open like during our Covid19 Era is truly a Miracle!
