Roopville General Store 11x14 SOLD

Dotting the landscape in the South are monuments  to a by-gone era, the community store. Once hubs of business and community life they stand as reminders of a  slower-moving society free of sprawling malls, suburban  development, and  crippling materialism. In addition to selling everything from hardware to eggs, these locally owned businesses dispensed  news and gossip and provided a location for business and social transactions; as very center of a community's existence, they were the heart-beat of community living. Today,  if preserved as this one in Roopville, GA, they possibly serve as antique stores or perhaps a local "museum." We are less without them.
