Today's photo of the day depicts the Shelby Forest General Store located near the entrance of Shelby Meeman State Park (just North of Memphis, TN). A large parking lot across from the store, it's proximity to the state park as well as several road bicycling routes on the Mississippi River Trail make the store a focal point for cyclists.

On just about any Saturday morning, the general store is also the scene of these veteran porch sitters. Some live nearby & others used to. Regardless, they come to socialize and watch the stream of bicyclists, campers and recreational fishermen coming into the store to buy provisions or eat. The store has a popular deli and also offers breakfast. If you want, you can even purchase a pickled egg out of the glass pickle jar.
