Wow...like stepping back in a great time!!!! I fringing LOVE IT!!!! Yes....oorah!!!!

Looks like a fun place !!! That would be a great place to take the grandkids.

Oh my goodness. Those Flour sacks brought up so many wonderful memories from the past. With my minds eye, I can see my mother sewing dresses for my sisters. Mom and Dad would often go to the feed store to buy feed for the chickens and rabbits Dad raised. Mom would usually come back home with at least four floral printed sacks. Some were plain, these, she would make into dish towels. Yep, Spring and Summer you would see flower printed girls flitting around like butterflies.

The cafe in the back has wonderful burgers. Their ice cream concoctions are enormous.

Wow! What a wonderful blast from the past.

This is a place to get LOST in time! Great place, great food!

I really enjoy stories from East Tennessee like this on Tennessee Crossroads.

Talking about flour sacks. My grandad was a coal miner his entire life, like the men in his family before him. He died when I was 3 of black lung and heart attack getting up from the dinner table. That left granny with 11 younguns to raise. I have a quilt my granny made that is flour sacks on one side and grandpa's denim overalls on the other. I would trade the love that is in that quilt for nothing. I am 63 and I treasure it

the milkshakes are out of this world. the burgers are great too

My biker friends and me have rode up there a few times. Awesome store

I love your store 🌸🌸🌸. You have everything and it’s so clean and organized. I would love to visit. Thank you 🦋

I love your shows

I'm an Aussie. That store is a historical place. Love it. We have voracious termites here. Anything old and wood gets eaten.

Always on our list of go to places when we are staying in Crossville....

This place is so cool!!!

OMGoodness I’d love to go there to browse around & then go out back for some good old fashion food!!! Shop some more then go out back again for a ice cream treat!!! I could happily spend the day there!!!

This was a great show. Took me back to shows like Charles Kuralt’s On The Road. We really do need more of this Americana celebration TV programming.

Agreed. I live in New Jersey and watch TC episodes every day. Sure wish we had some of that southern hospitality here!

John Gullo But if you had the southern hospitality there you wouldn’t have to dream of retiring and moving south. Grin grin. I live in a small southern town back up in the mountains where folks see someone they know while driving through town and it’s just fine to stop and speak a minute. We don’t blow horns and throw the finger we just drive around and toot at the people chatting and everyone waves.

Wow, lived in Crossville for a summer. :)

Wish we had at least one restaurant in Desoto, Missouri where someone put so much love and passion into a restaurant and the food.

Haha Cute Phrase "Field Clothes"! In 1964 when us Grandkids would barrel out of a Oklahoma BlackJack Missionary Baptist Church on a hot Summer Sunday, our Granny would often say to us, _"Alright Kids, you can go home and put on your "Snake Clothes!"_

I love this

I remember mother making some of my shirts from feed sacks. Red dog I think was the feed name.

I love it.

Never been there. To me though...this has got to be in the top five, most remarkable places on earth. A truely remarkable, nostalgic, quaint, wholesome, innocent, social gathering hole. I do have one question: Might I find home brewed root beer there?

COOL!

I think I've been there.

Sounds like a fun place. We only have 1 mom and pop style eatery in Desloge Mo. All the rest are chain places. I feel your pain. :(

@@ricjohns545 I agree with you , Ric Johns: They are just displaying a strip and piece from history and the era. Not making any sort of commentary. It adds to the zeitgeist and authenticity. I basically have a massive collection almost to tthe point of or surpassing this store. I have much Black, African-American historical pieces such as this. You can call it historal Black ephemera, Sambo, Mammy, whatever art and history. I love it, and I am certainly no racist. I am a collector and historian. They did nothing wrong in displaying it, and this was a wonderful and fun trip down Memory Lane.

yeah ive drove back in forth between tn ky and ohio many years and seen that place and stopped there a lot go to the right It will take you to to ky mt Vernon thru summer set MONTICELLO the used to have what they call spooky hollow but they cleared out the brush and made a bigger hwy into it
