    On one of our weekend road trips, we were sidetracked by a cute sign that read "Louisiana,…read moreMissouri." Since we weren't going to be anywhere near the state of Louisiana anytime soon, we decided to stop. What a great decision! The town is one of the typical small towns you can find in rural Missouri. There's always a business section where there are your usual fast food joints, a small grocery store, city hall etc. There are different sections of town which run the gamut, from very humble, smaller homes to grander, more palatial homes that looked like drs., lawyers, mayors must have built them back in the day. I am always on a hunt for a great thrift store and lo and behold, there was one right on the main drag. Sporting a brand new, brightly colored sign which reads "Thrift Store" Miss Murrel and Mr. Jim the owners, had recently opened for business. Apparently Mr. Jim is the owner of the entire block and was the owner of what was once an automotive shop which stood in the same area. Miss Murrel told me that story of how he had owned that business for many years but decided to retire and give his wife the building to run her dream, a thrift store. But it's not really just a thrift store and Miss Murrel and Mr. Jim are not just owners of a wonderfully messy, interesting, eclectic, curious little shop. It's a shop that is filled with history, a former business run by a husband and wife for many years that became a staple of the small town. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with genuine hospitality and a very warm vibe. True to my nosy nature, I began asking Miss Murrell about her shop, how long she had been there, etc. It turns out that Mr. Jim is a Korean veteran and in his 80's. You would never have guessed that; both of them were strong, vibrant and we seriously thought they were in their late 60's. There is still a bit of chaos in the shop, perhaps by now, more things are displayed and sections are are a bit more organized. When that day comes, I imagine that there will be even more treasures than the ones I found that day. There are gently used, older treasures mixed with a few more, contemporary items and some lovely furniture pieces. A wonderful couple who own a cool, little shop where you would least expect to find out. A great place to spend a couple of hours.
