I am sad that general stores on Main Street have been replaced by baseball memorabilia shops. As a boy, I shopped at Newberrys, Farm and Home, and Brooks. Those were the good old days for me.
Aw rats. I hate to see locally run stores close. I often use a 2-quart covered casserole dish to make grains. I couldn’t find it in the box stores but of course they had it.
Good luck in your retirement Mr Jax! You truly knew what service with a smile meant. I loved shopping in your stores over the last several decades. It’s been a pleasure. Enjoy.
Cooperstown’s Main Street is now completely hallowed out. Sadly, the eventual closing of the Village’s two anchor stores (The General Store & CVS) was predicted years ago when paid parking was first proposed. As a result, more streets have been repaved, providing a smoother ride past now empty storefronts.
Now through March 30, new annual subscribers to “The Freeman’s Journal” and AllOtsego.com (or subscribers who have lapsed for two or more years) have an opportunity to help their choice of one of four Otsego County charitable organizations.
$5.00 of your subscription will be donated to the nonprofit of your choice:
Cooperstown Farmers’ Market, Cooperstown Food Pantry, Greater Oneonta Historical Society or Super Heroes Humane Society.
that hurts!
That’s too bad. I remember when it was Newberrys… Here comes another baseball store!
Now what? There is NO other “general Store” in Cooperstown !

I was just there and spoke to Ron. He never mentioned anything.
Good for them, a well deserved retirement. Best wishes to them!
What a sad day for Cooperstown! The greatest store ever for Cooperstown folks. It was a lifesaver when we lived in Cooperstown.

Yes, this really hurts. The General Store was Cooperstown. It was the heart of the village. Truly sad for me and my wife.
