Neighbors. Bedlam Corners General Store

by Jon Katz
Bedlam Corners General Store

There are some people in the world who complain about how things are and used to be, and some people who do not complain but simply try and make things better. I drove by the burned-out general store in Bedlam Corners, which has been standing and deteriorating for a couple of years now while the owners and the town try and figure out what to do with it,  and saw Thom and Linda Janidlo with a dumpster hauling trash out by themselves. “What are you doing?” I asked. Cleaning out the store, they said. They are organizing a general clean-up of the store for 9 a.m. Friday and have asked me to come by and take photos. My pleasure. Anyone who can help is welcome to come  bye and help. Route 30 and Chamberlain Mills Road, at the center of downtown West Hebron. Photo album going up this afternoon on my Facebook Page.

I am not like Thom and Linda – I don’t really want to be cleaning up the store. But I am grateful for them. They make people like me possible.
