One of my best memories as a kid was going to visit my Dad up the Coast here to one of those small Dot In The Road township/farming communities. The store there was was a very unique place as it served the entire community around it. It was a large, almost Warehouse sized Tin Roofed Barn structure and it sold just about everything. From the Petrol Pumps out front, to the Vesicle Repair Shop/Garage tacked on to the side to the actual Barn itself that was filled with Farming Supplies, tools and hardware, clothing etc, a Mini-Market type store, right down to the the Fish and Chip shop/Takeaways/Cafe - it even had Toilets in the back. It was a veritable Aladdin's Cave that I later learned had grown up over ensuing Decades to serve the dispersed Farming Community around it.
I remember going up there about two or so years back when my Dad died - the place had gone. There was now only a large Mini-Market cum Shell Station with a small Cafe attached that served the area and passing tourists. Modern technology and the ease of ordering Online had ended the place. I was kinda sad actually.
I wonder if they'll become the Mission: Improbable team ;D
Perfectly Reasonable:
'Artisanal' is code for 'pretentious' and 'over-priced'.
Hanners last-panel expression would look more at home on May.
And I'm pretty sure you don't pick locks with a guitar pick for fluffs sake.
'Everything is awful?' What?

Did I miss something? Guitar pick? What are you talking about?

Ironically enough, some brands tout themselves as be 'Kansas City style', yet there isn't a single place in KC that makes or sells sarsaparilla (and hasn't been since the 1930s).
If you're ever in Wichita, KS, the Cow Town Museum actually makes their own sarsaparilla on site. You can also buy 1 liter bottles of sarsaparilla (Frostop brand) at any Atwoods. Leeker's Family Foods (at 61st and Broadway) sells Souix City brand. Does anyone else think it's weird that out of Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas; the only one of those states that has anywhere that sells sarsaparilla is Kansas?

My gf lives in a rural area in eastern Pennsylvania. Apparently the natives consider it completely reasonable to just knock on your door for an unannounced visit. Moreover, if your house has a back door (like a kitchen door), they'll use that (walking all the way around your house, on your property, invading your back yard, instead of using the front door which is just steps from the street). If the kitchen door is unlocked and they know you even moderately well they'll sometimes just let themselves in and say "hi!". I was SO startled the first time I found an unexpected person in the kitchen. I knew the person and knew she was ok to be there, but... damn.

Isn't that everywhere? I have friends who would never consider knocking on each other's doors. We all just waltz right in. I kind of always figured it was the norm.
