Mom & Pop


A floppy hat.  A handful of postcards just for fun.  Maybe the best hot dog you've ever had.  And a cup of coffee.  Nothing really beats a good general store, especially when you stumble on them while on a road trip.  But look around.  Is there a little shop you've been meaning to go into that's just around the corner from your house?  Well, today is the day because it is National Mom & Pop Business Owners Day. 

The image above is of the Broome Street General Store in Silver Lake, Los Angeles.  A friend and old co-worker of mine opened it and named it after a street we once worked on.  I'll take those bags!  And a latte.  Oh, and what are those cute shirts?
