General Store, Pretoria

Though you’d hardly notice it today, Pretoria was once a busy crossroad village, anchored by nearby plantations. It had a post office from 1900-1917 and was incorporated in 1907. It was named for the South African city. It was never much more than a crossroads, but there were at least two stores at one time. The old Pretoria Station, which was recently demolished, and this store, which I believe is still standing.

    Gee Lousie, someone has got to open this back up. No ones asking for it to be tip top, just safe and sound. A lick of paint, selling some basic provisions for sale, beans, salt, bacon, bread and milk. Finally can someone have the decency to hang a US flag outside with a hand painted sign” open fore business! I hate seeing places like these closed. Any takers ________________________________
