Totally an "old man" story. Oh well.
The store is still there and open too, pretty good long life but that's small towns for you.

Hanks LOL
Yeah, we all had a little store and up till about 1975 penny candy was everywhere.
Yeah we are talking 1972 hehe My lil store, Macs was between many of our places and school so a ton of kids would go in and out of there all day everyday. Sweet guy with a white apron. Noone ever went in the back rows EVER to buy any groc. All anyone bought was candy, maybe cigs.
And everyone had a smart comment for Mac. What a life. Macs was gone by about 1990 when Mac died.
Candy was still cheap till about 1980. Nickle candy bars in 1972 were only a dime from 1975 till 1980. Then a quarter in the early 80s. I think
