Welcome to Bay City!

Hey, thanks for stopping by the Bay City General Store. Come on in, we're just getting caught up on our daily ledger. Don't mind the squeak in the door. Every good screen door has a squeak. Besides that's our version of a early warning signal that Talvin is coming. If you haven't met Talvin yet, you will. He's a regular around here but there isn't anything regular about Talvin. It's time we told you a little bit about Bay City. We are in Illinois but just barely. We are on the Ohio River with a view that will knock your socks off (if you're into that sort of thing). We own and operate the Bay City General Store and Lodging and once you've seen the store you've pretty much seen Bay City. The population of Bay City totals 11 and that's counting 3 folks that we consider living in the northern suburbs of Bay City. So with only 11 people we have to wear a lot of hats.........
Come back tomorrow and I'll tell you about the time Warner Brothers discovered Bay City!
Nice to see you!

Come on in...

And now for dessert...

Now this is what we call some "punkin' pie." Happy Thanksgiving from all of us here at the Bay City General Store. Take time to enjoy your family and friends and to be thankful for all you have.

Ebay or Bust!

We're Packing our Bags...

We all got together here at the Bay City General Store, here in Bay City, Illinois. (We stayed up all night coming up with the name for the store --pretty clever, don't you think?) Well, anyway, we all decided maybe it was time to dabble our toes in this century just a little bit. Talvin (he's the one in the back with his hand on his hip) doesn't think much of our "dad-blamed" idea, but he still doesn't have FM on his truck radio so we didn't pay him any nevermind. So here's what we did... we loaded up some of our neatest stuff and we've headed straight for Ebay and we've gone and opened us up a store there. We hear that there are some right friendly folks over there and we're looking forward to meeting them. You can find us at http://stores.ebay.com/Bay-City-General-Country-Store Drop by and see us and let us know what you think -- Talvin sure did!
