MERCANTILE BENSON, AZ

A morning out walking the main street of Benson, Arizona.  It’s right across the streetg from the old train station which is now a tourist information building.  However it is not open because of the V____S.  

I spied and old Mercantile establishment that was purchased recently.  It was one of those stores that back in the day had many curios, and candy for the kids.  It still does.  Now the sidewalk  is empty.  

Cindy is now the proud owner, and she invited me to come inside.  

I asked politely if I could take some photographs, and she graciously accepted.

Walking around this old-time-like general store was an amazing experience that triggered memories of the past, and reminders of the now.
