Going Back to Our Roots by Makaya

Henry & Shorty's scream Craven County to me. When I think of Craven County I think of a place that is very folksy and has a lot of history; this store is exactly that. When you live in Craven County you learn very fast that it is big enough to have many different things to do, but small enough that you there are little hole-in-the-walls and small stores that are hard to find. These little places really make living here worth it. You won't find anything like the people and places that are in Craven County anywhere else.
I also chose this place because it is an example of one the places that have very unique people and items for this area. While you could probably find another store that sells Amish items, the feeling you get from this store and the owners would not be the same. It is a very personal store, a lot of the customers are regulars and it is a lot like living in a smaller area; everyone knows everyone making it a more personal of an area to live in.
