I am sad that general stores on Main Street have been replaced by baseball memorabilia shops. As a boy, I shopped at Newberrys, Farm and Home, and Brooks. Those were the good old days for me.
Aw rats. I hate to see locally run stores close. I often use a 2-quart covered casserole dish to make grains. I couldn’t find it in the box stores but of course they had it.
Good luck in your retirement Mr Jax! You truly knew what service with a smile meant. I loved shopping in your stores over the last several decades. It’s been a pleasure. Enjoy.
Cooperstown’s Main Street is now completely hallowed out. Sadly, the eventual closing of the Village’s two anchor stores (The General Store & CVS) was predicted years ago when paid parking was first proposed. As a result, more streets have been repaved, providing a smoother ride past now empty storefronts.
that hurts!
That’s too bad. I remember when it was Newberrys… Here comes another baseball store!
Now what? There is NO other “general Store” in Cooperstown !

I was just there and spoke to Ron. He never mentioned anything.
Good for them, a well deserved retirement. Best wishes to them!
What a sad day for Cooperstown! The greatest store ever for Cooperstown folks. It was a lifesaver when we lived in Cooperstown.

Yes, this really hurts. The General Store was Cooperstown. It was the heart of the village. Truly sad for me and my wife.
