Family Run Stores.. Nothing beats a bit of classic.

I love to have a look around

the odd unique or specialist

store you find in

some villages or town centres

or seaside resorts.

That still manages to stay open

dues to its uniqueness and variety

of what it holds within.

From fancy cakes and buns

to exotic sweets and candy

galore store

come restaurant.

That any sugar tooth lover

would adore.

To even An Chocolate Shop

filled with all types of chocolate

covered sweets and lollipops.

For adults and kids

to enjoy.

A kinky little sexy

naughty number

for the ladies.

Or that man you love.

To tease and please

them later on.

In the we ("us").">wee small hours. wink

Hidden around the corner

out of prying eyes. blushes.

I particularly love

those garden centres

that stock basically everything

for gardening,

to furniture

to even buy a new pet.

Outwith the usual stick

of Blackpool rocks

and snow shakers.

And the enevitable

miniature Blackpool tower

to boot if wanted too.

As a reminder of your trip.

to said place above.

Even the old 12 inch record shops.

All the music in paper sleeves old

and wrinkly.

With that distinctive

musty dusty smell.

That time has stood still

inside.

But play perfectly.

Any generation,

you seek or wish or desire.

They might have inside.

Or the type of shop

you get at the

seaside resorts.

To buy gifts to take home

to your family.

Their is one in Blackpool in

The UK.

That stocks, martial art stuff,

samuria swords and way out their stuff.

To even lovely pictures of wild animals and

elegant figurines.

They would have in store for you.

Let alone

the local family department store.

Owned by a local Townspersons family

for many generations down the line.

They have merchandise

to decorate the inside of your home

from wallpaper

to even ornaments

and novelty lamps.

As well as typical

soft toys for

your child too.

So many departs

to roam and explore.

And it's known all around

the local areas

for good quality and value.

And lovely things,

held within to purchase.

To even a proper

local butchers

with the meat hung

up in the window.

Or a Fruit andvegtable shop.

Where you

see all the fruit and veg

lined up in a row.

And you help yourself

and place them in a

crisp brown paper bag.

And pay a friendly guy

up front.

Who stops and chats to you awhile.

Before he moves on to

his next customer.

[Paul Bell]

I must admit I would love to find a store like this. Self-service machines that for some reason you start conversing with, usually with the tone, I'm going to smash you to bits if you don't stop telling me to wait for help. Must get anger management help, or maybe a bigger hammer.

I hate those self service machines myself. Awful things. Taking away a job from a human being. Nasty things.
