People came and went buying gasoline, sandwich meat, snacks, or groceries for the week. There were cane bottom chairs in the store and often people would sit and chat for a while.  Regardless of how many times during the week I walked down the road to that store, the opening salutation was typically “howdy.”  People were in and out of the Hinkle store…
