The Store

9/13/2007
By Gary Alexander
It’s all about ‘neighborhood’ in the vision
of those interested in keeping the American General Store functioning,
in some capacity, in West Shokan. A group of those interested
people will be meeting with Phil and Barbara Mansfield, who

Bakery and asked directions to
