★ Why we picked this

Riverside General Store in Crumpler is back open as of late July, stocked with pizza, hot dogs, candy, sodas, groceries, and hardware. The reopening is built on keeping the place what it has always been, a room where people gather, not just a register. The 1950s bones stay, which means the store knows what it is and is not pretending to be something else. Go get a hot dog and stand around.
