A Real Downtown, Lunch Counter, And A Surprise Inside

On our way to visit the Amish community in Ethridge, Tennessee one day, we stopped in Pulaski for a little bit.  What’s great is that they have a courthouse square and most of the businesses on it are open and seemed to be doing a good amount of business.

Outside the courthouse was a farmer’s market, and there were sidewalk sales going on…

This hardware store had real promise.  Est 1891:

Crockery in the windows, plants piled up outside in wagons…

And unhappy pickle art.

Yes, yes, yes:

We settled in at Reeves Drug Store, where they have a lunch counter. And Fenton. And gifts and fragrances, too.  I guess they’re the new kids on the block, because I found something saying they’ve been open since 1892:

They didn’t have egg-and-olive, so I got pimento cheese, after they promised it was made there.  Still, I wanted it to be better.  Was there…was it Velveeta inside?  The cheese was crazy-soft and not right.  Goopy.  Too bad.

That’s okay!  We got a big, fun, excellent surprise when we left.
