The World's Largest General Store.

We used to love going to the World's Largest General Store in Lehighton, Pennsylvania, until it burned completely to the ground in early October of 2006. It was the most eclectic and extensive collection of kitschy junk imaginable. To paraphrase the motto of Ralph's Pretty Good Grocery from Lake Wobegon Days, "If you couldn't get it at The World's Largest General Store, you probably didn't need it."

They're in the long process of rebuilding and they're now about half of the Largest, but the quirky charm has vanished and it'll never be the same.

Good bathrooms, though:


Sunny day...

rainy day...

and a few of the guys you meet inside Crazyville:
