D & J Country Store

In the past, small, independent gas stations/grocery store was conviently spaced every few miles along country highways in this area. Now, only a few survive, most forced out of business by the march of progress (large grocery stores, the modern interstate conveince store, etc). D & J���s still survives in a building that dates back at least 50 years, although there certainly have been some changes in ownership. For those of us that live 10 miles from even the larger stores, it is very nice to still have these predecessors of the modern convience store operating within a couple of miles of home. Change is inevitable, but hats off to D & J���s and the few remaining old fashion country stores.
