I don't know if you can access this without a subscription. But this is the article that mentioned us in the New York Times. It put us on the map and drew the attention of many, including TV out of Boston.

Filled with hope, determination, false bravado, and fear, we opened our doors 35 years ago yesterday. How much should we charge for coffee? (only one size, 8oz., 25 cents) What the heck is Layer Mash?(chicken feed, duh) What should our gas price be? (lower than it had been, unthinkably lower than today would be). Who knew what the future held. 21 years of challenges and success in a village that welcomed us. Many fond memories. Can't find opening day(?), but here we are on the 5th anniversary. Thanks to all who supported us 'til the end.

In 1986 these two embarked on a future as blurry as this picture. From Philly to Waits River, VT to Arlington, VT, and now Rock Hill, SC. Thirty-seven years of better and worse. What a long strange trip it has been. Could not have done it without Donna at my side.
