Unique novelty store in La Veta

 

 

We both loved this old store. The architecture was certainly unique, with old cedar columns and the extra large shaded area out front that protects the store from late afternoon sun. I suspect that during the winter this large sheltered area protects from snow as well. It was Sunday and after 8 PM or Joyce would have had me stop. Sometimes I get lucky. :-)
