Sunshine Raisin Bars.
Can't see myself getting back to SD except for visits to relatives.

Geno

The little family owned, neighborhood stores like our butcher shop, the bakery, the shoe store, the local gun shop, etc. These were places owned by neighbors, many of whom lived above the store. Places where the entire family worked to actually make customers happy and folks who became friends.



What I miss most is morality. All one has to do to see how far we have fallen is turn on the TV and experience what is now considered entertainment.

For those who grew up in TX, Gibson Discount Stores were the best!
They had the largest selection of Guns, Reloading supply's, Fishing Gear, and Archery Equipment EVER!
Not to mention, toys, clothes, automotive, electronics, garden tools, appliances, jewelry, tools, ect........

I grew up in small town USA, so I recognize some of the stores listed, but not nearly all of them.

We use to go hunting/fishing anyplace we wanted to, and nobody cared.
The small town dry goods store, that had just about everything... clothes, shoes, fishing/hunting supplies, dynamite... they had it all.
The cotton gin... every town had one and now there is only a handful left, none in my part of the country.

Yep we had a Gibson's in my home town (San Angelo). Bought my first rifle and shotgun there. B&W was another cool department store with a great sporting goods section!

Enjoyed several great gunshops in the general Twin Tiers NY/PA area, Solocks in Sayre PA, Ray Hotchkiss in Elmira NY, Ed Harts in Bath, Shoes, Creekside in Canandaigua. Sugarmans down in Wilkes Barre-Scranton was a great trip back in the day.
The advent of malls & big box stores pretty much ruined the shopping experience. Destroyed, rather than "ruined" is likely a better description.
Malls/big box stores suck/sucked so bad that I think they paved the way for contemporary "Online" shopping.
Sears Roebuck might be an example of a once great store, selling great products, that has not done well in malls and trying to be a bigbox. Sad.
Grocery stores like Grand Unions, A&P, Mohawk were more pleasant, and efficient timewise, shopping experiences than Walmart, Target, or Tops.
Single screen movie theatres provided a far more pleasant experience, in every way, than the current multiplexes. Getting so years go by between "going to the movies."
Not a fan of any of the current hook and bullet TV shows, thought I have fond recollections of Gadabout Gaddis and The American Sportman Marketing as done in todays world is simply overbearing.
I make an honest effort to shop the local small shops and to buy American when I can. I take pride that I can count my annual visit to Walmart on one hand.
I'm guessing this is why I am considered a card carrying curmudgeon.

OMG ! I thought I was the only person who missed them, they were my very favorites of all time.

H L Hodges & Co - THE gun dealer in eastern NC in the 1950's, 60's & 70's - I still have one shotgun I bought there and the first Buck knife I ever owned. Lot's more good stores gone and the replacements just aren't the same.

Loved Gibson's!

As a kid, the guys at the sporting goods counter knew when they saw me come in, I'd probably done enough chores, or found enough Coke bottles to cash in for some more .22, or shotgun ammo.

Sugermans Eynon drug. We never bought a bigger ticket item, appliances guns ect.with out checking them first. They would also have real after Christmas discounts. They would cut prices till what they want gone was gone.

I heard he was shot in the ass somewhere over in OR....I loved that bear.....RIP

I miss there being only one Cabelas and one Gander Mountain.




Travis

Our town is about 2/3 dead but of all the closed stores I miss the Wolf Point Saddlery the most.



That and our co-op gas station burned down about 6 years ago.

It was filled with decades worth of parts and a few old guys who knew how to fix chit.


They rebuilt but it was a poor attempt at best. Good place to shop if you wanna buy ffaggy 'western' wear but pretty weak and overpriced on actual farm stuff.

And they even fired a nice older gal and replaced her with some kids(that don't know chit).



Fuuck 'em.

They were in MS also.

when i was a kid bought my first Old Timer knife from there, from the big counter top display.

and fishing stuff. back when Zebco 33 were made here.

Brown's Lake. Filled it with dirt
and built a high school. It was a
kid's wonderland.

still one place, old time general store.

Gibson's!

Just about all Norma Ammunition was $4.97 a box! Didn't matter the cartridge. Still have several old boxes laying around her somewhere!

36gr Mini Mags

Sad indeed....

Add Win Silver Box 22WMR to that list....even more obsolete than the Mini Mag

Grew up as a military dependent....and when we were back at home that was in Northern Virginia outside of DC...

many military bases I lived on or are around, are long gone..
and much of Northern Virginia where I lived has long since gone from rural to highly urbanized...

if one moved around alot, one cool thing to do on line is to go on Google Earth and look up addresses of houses where you lived as a kid....

I've done that for houses we lived in, in Albany GA, Manassas, Springfield. and Arlington VA. and where we lived in England for 3 years...

Been back east several times over the last 15 years or so and went by places I use to live... showed my son places I lived and we went onto the campuses of the two colleges I went to in Boston, my home as a real little kid in Princeton WVa.. my cousin lives on the same street...and even the hospital I was born in, in 1952 is still standing... its long since migrated to a new location, but the one I was born in is still standing... its an Assisted Living Facility ( or was in 2012)...

also went by my Grandparents places in WV and Tennessee.. nostalgic where I spent a lot of fun times visiting them when I was a kid... sad to see the properties so ran down nowadays...

in fact, when I traveled back east on a cross country trip, I was sadden to see how ran down a lot of places were...

like in Ohio, Wheeling WV was really depressing, Pennsylvania, Maryland.. places that were almost Detroit Like...

When service stations were service stations, not convenience stores.

My hometown had service stations selling Gulf, Esso (later Exxon), Mobil, Shell, Texaco, and a Petco that was just a gas station, no services offered.

When nearly every small northern New England town had a gun shop and if you were looking for a particular firearm, you had to make a road trip. I particularly miss Bill DeVaux's shop in Norwich, VT, and Bill Guilderdale's shop in Stockbridge, VT. Bill DeVaux's shop was where wealthy Dartmouth people disposed of the firearms from their estates. I remember going into the shop one time when Bill was filling the racks with dozens of Henrys, 1866s, 1873s, and 1876s. A sight like nothing that I'd seen before or have seen since.

When there were multiple dairies in town and you could get your milk delivered to your door in bottles by Honey Garden, Super Test, or Winona.

When A&W Root Beer was the only fast food restaurant in town.

When McDonald's came to town and you could buy a small drink, fries, and a hamburger for less than $1.

I grew up in the 'burbs, and still could walk out the door and go hunt squirrels and dove near the house. Would be jailed for doing so in the same places now.

TG&Y

Woolworths

A&P

small mom and pop hardware stores

Going down the the 7/11 to buy a tube of BBs for my red rider.

Fishdog, you struck a chord with me when you mentioned Gaddabout Gaddis "The Flying Fisherman." I remember that show very well; I never missed one because it had both fishing and flying - two of my favorite things back then.

I also watched Virgil Ward's show. Loved the part where he always showed lure action in a fish tank.

As far as other memories, Yoo-Hoo chocolate soda is right up there with me. I can only remember one place that sold it - a city park/swimming pool near our town. And I didn't always get one no matter how hard I begged Mom. But when I did...well, it was special. Very special.

Jackson Co.only has two incorperated towns,but has a lot small communities,and every small community used to have an elementary school,and a little store that was usually also the Post Office were the old men hung out.The old men always called me a catbird,and I never even knew what a catbird is..All the really small elementary schools,and stores are gone,but a lot of the small Post offices are still open..

I grew up watching him on Sunday afternoons

Herter's

Ya know, when I watched Virgil and Gaddabout I could not imagine being that old and still getting around fishing. All the age 65+ old men in my life were "stove up" farmers and coal miners who could hardly hobble to the outdoor privy much less go to far-off fish camps.

And now, here I am...

Great thread, mtnsnake! Thanks!

The one my father took me to had a big fish bowl on the counter. Within the bowl was a wide selection of odds and ends shotgun shells from broken boxes and the like. They were sold by the piece at a rate a kid could afford. I remember digging around to get the blue ones.

Yep there was a Gibson's in Louisiana also. First discount store I ever saw.

Walgreens is still around, but is not the store of my childhood. Back then our local one had a few shotguns and 22's along with a moderate selection of ammo for the same. I don't recall anything about centerfire rifle/handgun stuff, it wasn't on my radar at the time.

I put myself through college working at a Western Auto. I commuted a half hour each way to school, routinely carried 18 semester hours, and worked evenings and Saturdays in the WA store for $1.65 an hour. Had to pay dues to the clerks' union, too - the only time in my life I've been in a socialist organization.

Kaiser-Frazer

Desoto! Dad had a '55!

Mission Macaroni and Cheese in the box.....nothing else comes close to the taste it had.

a real, small town Barber shop, that used a straight razor around the ears and on the neck.

a small boy could get an earful in there.

My Marlin 60 .22 semi is stamped
Western Auto "Revelation". Had it
since '64.

Bought a case about a month ago from a hoarder. Now their residing with another hoarder. Their around but difficult to find. GW PS. None for sale. GW

My barber still does it.

Massey-Ferguson and Minneapolis Molines were all over my grandpas farm. He would just keep working on them and using the crap out of em! Are they still around?!?

Piggly Wiggly. At least in the area where I grew up they're nowhere to be found. Not sure if there are any still around. Our town had a Western Auto and an Otasco (central AR). Both gone. One is a tanning salon. The Otasco is a $ General. Sad

Yea I remember going to the barber shop.There was always a Calender with scantily clad women hanging on the wall,.I would always look thru the magazines,and find one with a racey cover,hoping to see a tit..

Dont miss the barber shop at all! One guy had a prosthetic hand from his time in vietnam, great barber but a little rough on ya, and his partner, good too but you always got a nick or two. Now I go to the mall or strip mall. Aint nothin like having a early 20's girl rub her hooters over your shoulders for 20 minutes

Ha! Aunt Jewel and Uncle Alton Carter ran the Piggly Wiggley in Georgetown Texas! My grandmaw's lil sis!

Had a cousin that ran the Western Auto in Pleasanton Texas.

They've all been dead for decades now.

The barber I went to a youngster only cut hair one way. High and tight. Whether you wanted that or not.

Piggly wiggly are still around here.

I'm too young for most of those stores, though we did have two Gibson's stores in the town south of us. Bought some of my first reloading supplies there and my TC White Mountain carbine when they were doing the final close out on guns before they shut down, $288 plowing dollars brought it home.

The thing that upsets me most when I go home is all the farmers who used to let me go hunt and fish just for asking who now lease their stuff out. Nobody had a problem just letting someone go hunt until the damn Texans started coming up and making lease offers. Stupid bastards would have been allowed to hunt for free if they would have just asked. Sadly those days are about gone now.

Brother,
I have bought Swamp People Mini-Mag HP three times in the last ten days.....
I was getting some schite on Cabelas on Thanksgiving Day (online) and they still had it.
Free Freight......
About 8.50 per hunnerd, which is plenty.
But it's "collectible".....:)

There's still one in Weatherford,near the courthouse.
Yep,
It's still stacked to the cieling with guns,ammo,hunting,and fishing stuff.
Lots of bow,and bowhunting related stuff too.

Howard Griffin in Monroe, La., had just about anything a sportsman could want.

Been gone for 40+ years.

And, at Christmas time, they would move the sporting goods out of the way and haul in toys...toys... and more toys. Had special tv commercials for Howard Griffin's Land of Toys.

I hit the one in Kerrville whenever I am there.

Creekside Gun Shop was a classic! I only went in once when I was in school in Rochester and that was close to 40 years ago. I have always wanted to go back with some money. Sorry to find out it is gone.


I miss locally owned stores like the gun shops, bait and tackle shops, and hardware stores. Jewelry stores that had an actual watchmaker and hand engraver on site. Local stores that would call you if you hadn't been in to pick up something for your anniversary or wife's birthday and time was getting short. A drug store that would open back up if you needed medicine for your child and a dry cleaner you could call if you forgot to pick up the wife's dress the day before her trip out of town.

Something a little different: Grand Prairie Naval Air Station. We lived in the landing/departure flight pattern and my friends and I would lay in the grass in the backyard (this was the 1960's/early 1970's) for hours watching pretty much everything in the Navy inventory roar overhead at low altitude. Also miss the sonic boom's that would rattle Mom's decorative dishes that hung on the wall (never broke one!)

Thanks Uncle J,

I was just going to post a link for the Garibaldi's for Lynn.

Miss Lynn, I'm glad to see someone else here misses them too.

Edsel cars.

I can sure remember that one, song was kind of an "ear worm":



We had one of the Farrel's where I lived too. We always loved it if we had enough people to order the San Diego Zoo sundae:

"The menu is printed as a tabloid-style newspaper. It features appetizers, sandwiches, burgers, and dozens of different sundaes, as well as malts, shakes, sodas, and floats. Unusual offerings include a glass of soda water for 2 cents, and the traditional free sundae for customers celebrating a birthday.[7] Some of the sundaes are huge and intended for a group to share. The largest, the "Zoo" sundae, is delivered with great fanfare by multiple employees carrying it wildly around the restaurant on a stretcher accompanied by the sound of ambulance sirens.[8]"

Eastern, TWA, and PA-AM Airlines, the boeing 727 pretty much nobody states side flies those anymore, Gas with out Ethenol in it!

Last time I was in a 727 was 1989. I sat near the wing and still remember the machinery noise from the landing flap deployment.

I know where Riverton and Columbia are, but I'm not familiar with the Martin Home Place.

Riverton was where the KNOE tv tower was located.

When I was a little boy I lived in a house on the Texas Gas compressor station grounds. (Riverton)

Dairy stores. Real honest to goodness dairy stores. Time was, they were the only thing in the way of retail that was open on Sundays. The soda bar in back, a couple coolers and freezers up front, and the penny candy rack. You could get a newspaper, milk and eggs, but not a whole lot more unless you wanted a hot fudge sundae or a malted milk shake.

Callari's in Sabula Pa. Just a little neighborhood store beside Lake Sabula. There was also Mrs. Cornelius's General Store. You could buy anything from a box of ammo for a 25-35 to a mounting bracket for a McCormick 5 bottom plow. Morrellis' Market over in Penfield Pa. looked like a time warp from a Norman Rockwell print. Those high ceilings, with equally high shelves. Ladders mounted on rails to slide across the shelf and get at the stuff up high. Hand cut steaks wrapped in butcher paper.

Locals from the Dubois area will remember Bailey's Custard Stand on 255 out in front of what is now the Dubois Mall. You could get any kind of custard you wanted, as long as it was Vanilla, chocolate, or "twist."

So many great places long gone.

I grew up in the Youngstown, Ohio area. Anyone from down there my age might remember The Agora. It was an old playhouse that was painted up and re-opened as a bar-concert hall. We used to go up to the bar and talk to the two undercover agents that were permanently stationed there. They were both "yeah babies" and they knew we weren't old enough to drink "hard" beer or liquor. They always got a kick out of us asking if we could buy them a drink.

I spent a couple summers up in the U.P. of Michigan while Dad was working up there. We used to eat at a place up by Escanaba on Rt. 2 called Red's Log Cabin. Great steaks, and great service. I often wonder if that's still there or not.

When I first read this thread, I thought of a small country store near the place where I grew up.. ANDY'S had everything.. From mop handles to guns.. He was kind enough to let me look at the ammo in the back of his store.. He had all kinds from .22's to such things as .35 Win., 405's, 375 H & H, and the most beautiful of all the .300 H & H.. I remember one day in June two sons of the local big time poacher came in and ask for a mop handle and 5 boxes of .30-30's.. ANDY'S burned down not long after I left the area for good.. When I returned there is a quick stop there.. No character and no mop handles or .30-30's...

Woolworths wife had her first job there in the diner
Monkey Wards, when they had guns, and a farm store across the street

The Standard, then Conoco, then ??? gas station where the guys actually knew us.

Harley of Denver; only shop in town, grease soaked wood floor, lots of REAL motorcyclists; not the yuppie HD stores like now.
And Harry's Motors, Indian, Ducati, and ??

locally: Joslins, and May Co., and Daniels and Fishers (dry goods)

I seem to remember Eakers, Gibsons, and a few others.

How about when Wards, Penneys, and Sears all sold guns.

The majority of the WWII generation

The old South

Roses Department Store (in my area)

Brendels

Woolworth's

bird dog men

Quail

Country music before puss in boots

NASCAR before they discontinued the North Wlikesboro race

Our old school house

Bait and Tackle stores

Morrison's Cafeteria.

Taking our cattle or hogs to the stockyards. Walking the aisles, the sound and smell of stock. Sometimes the buyer would flip a kid a quarter for an ice cream.

Cheeseburgers at Woolworth's lunch counter.

Yes,this^^^.Sad. Woolworth was cool, as was Western Auto. Think I bought my Mod 94 at Woolworth. Maybe 74 bucks? Miss the the old stores.

The old radio shows. Boston Blackie, Gunsmoke, Let's Pretend, Fibber Mcgee and Molly and a few more. Also the 17 Bar in Billings where I got my first real man drink with my fake ID.

Don't know what "Grandpa pigeons" was but seeing that you're from central MO. did you ever go to John Wall's? If John knew you and you had some shells or bought some you could try out a used gun before you bought it.

The once a year Sunday morning pigeon shoot in downtown Sedalia... we'll never see that again :-(.

Gateway sporting goods in KC...they had an elephant foot waste basket.

Thunderbolt Speedway... they had a figure eight track.

Drag racing at Whiteman AFB on the runway.

A covey of quail in almost every fencerow.

One or two fur buyers setting up in parking lots every Saturday during the season.

Googerburgers.

The town I grew up in (Paducah, Ky) has pretty much been preserved as if in a time capsule. When I-24 came through, most of the commercial stuff began centering around a big mall that was built right off an exit and it's like a town of its own now, while the old downtown area has been preserved.

It used to be a relatively rough little river town, now it's a boutique area.

They even raided the town whorehouse back in the early 90's.

Yeah shrapnel, remember the Matchbox series. Used to get 'em at Dick's Hobby Shop in So-Cal.
TG&Y stores. Got my first piece of a..., uh, well, my first girl friend worked there. Eh!

That mirrors my list!


Casey

Oh yeah, Gibsons--the biggest gunrack this West Slope boy had ever encountered...........


Casey

High School girls and drive in movies. The 70's were great.

Mom and Dad and lovely aunts and uncles; kids without cell phones or new cars; local movie theater - one show running; 5 and dimes with soda fountains; excellent local sporting goods stores with lots of quality fishing stuff and many good used guns; service stations; small/greasy local vehicle repair shops with real mechanics; small local grocers who choose the fresh stuff they sell; army/navy surplus stores (in the late 40s and early 50s) overflowing with quality stuff, and inexpensive; etc.

Someone mentioned old radio shows. Twin Citians will remember Steve Cannon and the Evening Mess with Ma Lingerer, Backlash Larue, and the cast of thousands. All the small town gun shops in Pennsylvania we used to go by on the way to camp before Interstate 80 went through. Great little towns like Clarion, Medix Run, Shippenville, and others really lost a big part of their identity when 80 passed them by. The Friday run to deer camp before the opener every year always brought us into one of a number of small town gun shops. Business would be bristling. The wood stove would be cracking, there'd often be an old dog sleeping nearby, the 'smith would be busy at the counter mounting scopes, and just trying to keep up. There'd be someone dickering over a well worn 30-30 as two guys talked about the best deer rounds. Sure do miss those days.
