On our way back from Luray we decided to stay on Rt. 11 heading back home. We stopped along the way to just enjoy sites we hold dear in our memories. We don't know how much longer those places will last, so we at least took a couple pictures. But before that we stopped at Woodstock Brewing Company for an afternoon snack. Ashton had ginger ale, I had chips and tea and Eric had a flight of their beers.
Ah Montgomery Wards. The building has been sitting vacant for nearly 2 decades now. I still have memories of going there- and my mom worked at the diner inside, even though I don't remember that.
This is the wall coming from the "back way" to the plaza. How awesome it is. It used to lead to the movie theatre but now it sits empty.
Ear Food! I remember when this store was next to the Fashion Bug on Berryville Avenue- where the Sharp Shopper is now. It was a Safeway, Rite Aide, Ear Food, Fashion Bug, laundry Mat and the Center for Figures. Good Times. Eric and I went to this location when we first were together. annnnnd.......
We were so happy to take our son there too. I don't know how much longer it will last with the digital age upon us but I hope it will be a long while more. Vinyl is making a come back so you never know.
We ended the night with a special request from Ashton. It's been yeeeeaaarrrs since we went to the Chinese buffet! he said-- so there we went. Good times and regrettable yet yummy food was had. A great way to end the evening.
I guess the theme of the day was going down memory lane. Old TV shows, old stores, old architecture and old restaurants. Great places continuing even if its just in our memories.
Until Next Time.
