DINKIN"S STORE : if I won the lottery....

 

I would try to  buy Dinkin's Store. I would keep the essence of Dinkin's as the best little general store/feed store around and add a few touches of my own.  It would have some Natural and Organic Food items, the same little metaphysical quirkiness in the left front corner, complete with "Co-Exist" bumperstickers, weMoon Calenders, Nag Champa and Lavender essential oil .

 It would also be an artist's coop. And that little shotgun building in front with  the massive truck scale...it would be Annie B.s Herbal Remedies, or an apothecary.  I have told so many local folks this idear, that if it does come to fruition, I want you to know my thinking. 

 

 

 

This old gal is a gem.  A guy (Mike) that I met on the Blue Run trail a few weeks ago told me he thought it was going for 1.5 mil. Hmm.
Dreaming on, it would have live music on weekends with local food trucks...3 count 'em, 3 that we have here in Dunnellon. All good, all local.

 

It would have organically grown food and medicine plants outside.  The small structures would be rent -by the -month artists studios.  You would pretty much get the "wow , how very cool" look on yer face that you did when you walked into Dinkin's when it was still open, but now your face would say. ( if yer face could talk like mine does)..looking into the back
right corner..".oh THAT"S where Rainbow Outfitters is.!!!!"..looking further to find a new paddle or led solar powered troller motor for your paddleboard. 
Well  I love this old store and was very sad to see it closed up when I arrived back here in November of 2012.
Yesterday I went by there and decided, whatever did end up happening to Dinkins, I needed to take some pictures and window reflections to show y'all....
