Dorothea Lange's Country Store on Dirt Road

Country store porches were once an important part of community life. People gathered there to catch up on the latest gossip - how the crops were fairing; did sister have her baby yet; who passed away this week and so on and so forth.
My son found this image and sent it over thinking I too would find it interesting and appropriate to post here. Good choice Vince!
FYI: The photograph is Dorothea Lange's Country Store on Dirt Road shot in Gordonton, North Carolina in July, 1939. It is from the FSA-OWI Collection at the Library of Congress at http://loc.gov/pictures/collection/fsa/ and is among the public domain photographs.
