The town bandstand sits in the middle of the square. The town newspaper, Valley Voice, sits across the street from the gazebo. Its publisher is James who also runs the print shop. Click onto the following for the current valley news: Looking south from the bandstand is a row of stores including Nancy's Puddins Restaurant on the corner, The WV Realty Company and the Dance Studio. The bakery is also on the south side of the square. It's presently in need of a new owner, so if anyone is experienced in the bakery business, here is your opportunity. Now since Granny is so busy running the Inn, she has turned the building on the square over to George who will show his menus and recipes. He has named his cafe "George's Corner". Click here to go to his menu page. Below is a close up of Puddins. The whole east side of the square was set aside for the ice cream parlor. Darci is the proud owner of the parlor and invites the residents of WV to come by and sample her delicious frozen treats. Now I know that all the residents of this fair town are looking forward to seeing the menus of these fine establishments posted here in the future. I'm sure that the dance students at dance studio will enjoy getting their gastronomic delights at one or all of the eateries. Old Slick Sammy himself, from the real estate office, with his big pot belly, will be waddling in sampling these delights. Here is a newcomer to the Town who has set up shop to give signature help to the residents. Picks can be found here. We also are fortunate that we have the following place to go to for help on our html's. Sonny is always here, ready to help anyone who needs it. Now a town is not a town unless there is a mercantile handy to get our supplies. Happy Lady Pat is the owner of this quaint store and during the winter she keeps a pot belly stove hot for her customers to come in and warm up. The buildings were built in the early 1900's and has had numerous occupants. The entrance to the store is to the left. A hole was knocked in the wall between the left and middle building so that the store could expand. The front door to the middle building was walled up and soda machines were set up in front.
The
counters are low and flat on top so you can see all over the store(like
the old variety stores) and around the edges there are shelves and
drawers, and counters with glass fronts and tops. There are apothocary
jars with neat candy... the cash register is a fancy one with all the
pretty metal scroll work, none of those scanners for you.... ...there are
those cast iron decorative things with the sharp hooks on them that you
have to store the orders on..You have another cast iron decorative piece
that holds your roll of paper that you wrap things with. Here is a link to Pat's store:
http://www.ghphotography.org/pats_and_save.html The building to the right has been leased by the artist , Bernece Gray. The close-up of Bernece's shop is shown below. Her shop is called Bernece's Boutique and Art Shop.
She will hold classes on eggery art and how to make beaded flowers. Here is Janes's Flower Shop that she wanted to call Betsy's 
Next to the bakery is the Coffee Cup Cafe that Granny Pat was managing.
Go visit her and see what great siggies and banners she has for all of us.
Here is a description of the store inside as told by a customer, Joni:
"When I walk in to your store I see the pot bellied stove with a pot of
coffee always brewing,,,it has those old wood floors that are oiled and
have that distinctive smell, and creak when you walk on them.
There are
stairs in the back that take you to a mezzanine that goes all around the
store..and you can look down and see everything."
Fresh eggs are supplied by Chickie. Take a look at her farm:
