This is it. The Joyce General Store. It celebrated it's Centennial in 2011. It has tons of charm, and a really awesome selection of goodies, from local produce to little random gifts, not to mention beer and chips. Speaking about BEER (which I adore), the store uses those OLD store refrigerators to keep the BEER cold- It's like walking into the 30's (today's prices though..LOL). All that, AND a <span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><strong>POST OFFICE</strong></span>!</div>

This is where the *magic* happens folks. No, I don't let my husband in here - this is the place where I play in the mail. But....when I'm enjoying this space, I'm usually fighting for room.
