A Little Variety:

Busy Stores, Empty Stores, and One In Between

 

Snow's General Merchanise is located just a few miles from the Blue Ridge School in Dyke, Virginia. The two women behind the counter stressed with the arrival of over twenty workers, had little time to speak with me. I was particularly interested in this large american flag outside the store. I went back at night to hopefully take an interesting picture with a single light on it but there was none.
I did not actually speak with anyone at Rockfield Grocery outside of Ivy, Virginia. Numerous individuals told me this store was open but it never seemed to be when I stopped by. Just recently reopened, it is primarily a feed store.
This abandoned store caught my attention heading back towards Charlottesville one afternoon on Route 250. While it is difficult to tell when the store might have closed, there was a bustling, newer gas station within half of a mile.
A shot from outside Wyant's store, but it could have been taken at really any of the stores, as this was a familiar sight.
