Maybe not to you it isn't. I am into anything that has to do with LI history or anything that has to do with a time gone by.

Yes, it was white up until about 10 years ago. I also think it is the longest, continually run general store in the US. IIRC, Suffolk County runs it now.

I remember as kids riding my bike up there for cold drinks from the ice box, and fresh fudge and licorice.

I have some pics myself - OP: If you want, I can post them in your thread.

sure everyone is welcome to contribute photos or anything they would like to share about their experiences going there. It's too bad that some feel this place is not worth checking out.

I remember getting molasses pops covered in dark chocolate there as a kid. Still think the comma is wrong.
