Title: Jim Crawford's Store
"This building is no longer located here and has been torn down many years ago. Jim Crawford took over the store after his mother-in-law could no longer run because of her age. Everyone in Arcadia would gather at the store. I would ride my horse, Thunder, to the store and we would eat ice cream and soda pop together. He loved both and everyone enjoyed watching him turn up the soda pop bottle and drink it down. I also remember how Jim Crawford would leave his overalls in the back and the chickens from his next door house would come and lay eggs in them."
