While on the road shooting the Barbecue and Home Cooking documentary for the SC Department of Parks Recreation and Tourism and the SC Heritage Corridor, Stan came across an old five and dime store where the owner was keeping alive the store past down to him by his father. He owned a store across the street also, and when he had to be in one store he would lock the door of the other until business died down then watch to see which store had the next customer and would tend to it. During this short visit Stan shot footage coming through the front door and never stopped until the customers left the store. During this short 12 minute run the variety and peculiarities of this general merchndize store and its colorful owner and equally colorful customer leaves the viewer smiling and appreciating this nostalgic glance at what once was a store of necessity in small agricultural towns in South Carolina.
