This is for you city slickers that can walk to a store. This diner, grocery store, and haberdashery is the only store within 15 miles. It is the only store in Port Clyde which is on a peninsula sticking out into the Atlantic.

Woodburning stove. Are they actually cooking something in what appears to be a pot there?

The soup of the day.

You can almost smell the wood smoke and hear the murmered converstations from the regulars as they sip coffee and talk about tides, barnacle scrapping and lobster pots.

Ken,
this is a great photo of a dying piece of our history - make more pictures while you can! It's wild how my dad grew up about 175 miles from where I live now and rode a horse to school with his two brothers (1 horse, 3 boys) and we don't know what it's like to go to a general store or real hardware store . . . . thanks for sharing this with us.
