Marcy Jo’s
Well, Joey and Rory are kinda neighbors of mine now…not too far from the farm. They’re good neighbors I think. I like the music alright, but what I want to talk about is Marcy Jo’s Mealhouse. We just ate lunch there and it is a fine place to eat.
But it is the building that Marcy Jo’s is in that I want to talk about. When I was young, and that’s been quite a while, my Mom and Dad, brother and I passed that, then, store on the way to my Mom’s mother’s house for Sunday dinner. We would turn left onto Bear Creek Pike (not “road” as the sign says) there at the store.
Of course, the store was closed as it was Sunday, so today was the first time I saw the inside. That was a different time and we were truly country, but that doesn’t exist anymore. Whatever we all are today, it is not country in the sense it was then.
But so it is, new neighbors, new owners, new times. It is not so bad even though it isn’t really country anymore.
