GREAT HIKING LANDMARK PASSES INTO HISTORY

For many years a hike starting in Sloatsberg began with a trip to the "Ramapo Health Food Store. Now as many of us get older and somewhat better off financially we forget the simple things. Small Town America is passing away and that is ashame. Going to this store was a passage back into the 60's. The first thing you felt as you entered the store was the smell of incense and health food spices. The store sold hiking maps and books. Plus a very large collection of Meditation Books and items. The owners were nice people and always made their customers feel welcome. That is all gone now as a fire destroyed the store. There is now an empty lot and an empty spot in our souls. We miss you guys. COME BACK!!!! Be a phoenix. After the store burned many people left their names and messages on the front door of the shop. THIS WAS THE HOME OF THE WORLD FAMOUS -->"SLOATSBURGER".This store repesented small town America. This webmaster wishs it would return!!!!

Luckily Suffern and Cold Spring have  new health food stores.
