COFFEE, TEA AND CORNPLASTERS..
There aren’t many of us left who remember Sixbey’s General Store. It was more than a store; it was a gathering place, a new bureau, a bright spot in a child's summer afternoon. You would come in from the hot dusty street, and the shaded store was cool. Immediately you encountered a tantalizing blend of scents-apples, licorice, spices and smoked ham. Grown-up conversation enhanced your feeling of excitement as they viewed and reviewed town happenings. You always took a long time to decide between a chocolate or a lemon drop, so that this exciting visit could be prolonged. Our town has changed since then. For those of us whose memories linger in Sixbey's Store, it hardly seems the same Dlace.
