Bynum General Store 

I spent several days staying with friends John and Marchellina in Bynum, NC -- they live in a beautiful 1908 farmhouse. I could have done without the all-night rooster calls, but that was solved by a set of $2.29 Ear Plugs
rated at 29 decibels. Another solution would be by Smith & Wesson, as I truly think roosters are punishable offenses to mankind. Directly across the street from their farmhouse is the Bynum General Store, run by Jerry -- he helped discover Tift Merritt, and rumor has it that she still comes back to play the Bynum Music Series on the stage built to feature her talents.

Check out the store:


And, John and Marchellina's dogs, Bracken:

Comments:
Tift Merritt is playing at the Tractor Tavern in Seattle February 3 and 4th. In case you want to meet Bynums most famous person and she does rock (even though she is Grammy nominated for Country music)
