The third location of the day was again one I had found through train windows. It was a former village store with such a bush growing in front of it, that it was only visible to the railroad during wintertime.
Imagine my surprise, when I approached through the back, and noticed, that the building was very much inhabited. The facade at the back had fresh paint, gardening was well done and there were even two cars standing on the yard.
As we left through the old road crossing the railroad, we accidentally stumbled upon the second store of the village. It left no doubts.
According to old maps this store has been active still at least in the late 1980’s.
And it seems that in addition to groceries it has sold quite a lot of other things like every good rural shop. This is a brand of home appliances.
And this a brand of agricultural equipment.
And this was the logo of the co-operative stores between 1979 and 1985. So this must be a former co-operative then.
The bulletin board of the village was next to the entrance.
The building was well sealed and the lot wasn’t totally overgrown. It might be, that somebody is still using it as a storage or something.
