We were heading home from lunch and shopping in Jonesboro when we overtook a pickup truck on U.S. 49 with an "I ♥ Goobertown, Arkansas" bumper sticker on the back.
Goobertown is just a couple of miles north of us and I like to say we live between Goobertown and Buck Snort, Ark.
Naturally, we had to have one or two, so we set out to find the source. After trying an antique store that was closed, we realized the only other possibility was the Goobertown Grocery.
We'd seen so little activity around the grocery that we guessed it wasn't an active business, but just somebody's home.
Turns out it's both.
Here's the couple who live and work at the Goobertown Grocery and make a living selling a modest inventory of grocery items and souvenirs, including the bumper sticker we'd seen about an hour earlier.
And here's Morgan at the Whole Hog Cafe. She's not really that messy - the barbecue sauce on the napkin and her face were added for effect.
