There is something comforting about a general store. If you grew up in a smaller community you probably lived right around the corner from one of these convenient shops and remember the frequent visits you made there. In Alaska there are some really awesome, one-of-a-kind general stores that will take you right back to the one from your younger days. Some are even a little wackier than most! Check them out and share others we may have missed.
