  1. Geesh. Nothing lasts forever, but that was as White Hen as long as I can remember, and that is at least since 1974.. back when the register was in the center front of the store with 1 cent candy containers on one side of the counter around the cash register. On the right side of the building there was once a diy jewelry/t-shirt shop, and a consignment antique store. So many childhood memories riding my bike to the store during the summer. sigh.

  2. right there on shermer where if you were a kid possibly up to no good, the police driving by or pulling in was, well a bit unnerving lol - they knew to check the hen lol. nothing else was open near town. Marathon over at techney and shermer was a bit of a hike for central NB dwellers by foot.
