June 28 – Grantville Super Market (ONP #178)

with No Comments

In the middle of Pennsylvania farmland, surrounded by barns and meadows, with milk so fresh you can smell its producers as you stand in the parking lot–that’s where I found Grantville Super Market today.

I actually saw several new places today, traversing back roads as I headed back to DC. looking for something that would be my One New Place. But as many of the roads, had no places to pull over and take photos, I didn’t stop until I saw a sign pointing to this super market, off one of the more main roads. I knew I had not only found my New Place for the day, but also the perfect place to take my picnic lunch break, grab some water and a fresh apple.

I liked this little store—the old fashioned deli, the green and white checked floor, the two (2!) checkout aisles (compare that to the 14 or 19 at the megastores) and, like I said, surrounded not by strip malls but by pure country (air and all).
