I'm gonna have to get more history on this little town, like the REAL name. When I do I'll update this post. update: my sister just, so sweetly, informed me that DUH! the town just might be called LaFayette!! so, there you have it. It's LaFayette, KY...maybe??
I have some photos for you to enjoy.

We especially loved the LaFayette General Store. It was built, I believe in 1931. It burned and was rebuilt in 1937. They still operate a full time General Store with deli style lunch and penny candy!!!

Oh I love driving through towns like that. When we lived in North Carolina & we would visit Virginia we would ride through several towns like that. So fun. Great pictures. What a cool general store.
I'm thinking the town might be called Lafayette. :)
Wow...neat! Happy belated birthday, by the way!!!
wow!! that town looks incredible. I love that general store - super cute!! :)
I wish we could move to a little town like that. I bet it would be really great.
