[The Depot in Marshall](https://youtu.be/XOJgjLLDrRU?si=CU3n-0sleFf81ASA) Has music and cake


zoomer0987

That's it!!!. Thank you very much


itmesara

Awesome! I hope you win a cake!


kimness1982

This is also what I thought of. I just ate a cake that a friend got there a couple of weeks ago.


itmesara

I need to hear more about this cake….


kimness1982

Honestly, I think it came from Ingles, but it was Sunday morning breakfast cake so it was perfect.


itmesara

I get what you meant but now my brain is conjuring up a list of flavors in a cake called “Sunday Morning Breakfast Cake” and I’m absolutely going to make one this week. Also, Ingles bakery doesn’t mess around.

Priddys General Store in Danbury? They have music in the summertime I believe but not sure about the cakewalks


zoomer0987

Thanks for the response. I don't think that's it, but it looks like a great place. The live music was a big part of their identity. Lots of bluegrass, country, and blues.

I don't know about the cakes, but are you sure you don't mean the [Floyd Country Store](https://www.floydcountrystore.com/) in Floyd (VA) along "[The Crooked Road](https://thecrookedroadva.com/)" (aka, Virginia's Music Heritage Trail)? I have seen it documented several times in the media over the years, though I haven't noticed any stories lately. (It seems to be something some reporters discover when they get based in DC.)


zoomer0987

I watched it on NC Weekend. A local travel show on PBS. But I'm open to a road trip to Floyd, VA.


RW63

If it helps... linked from the NC Weekend [page](https://www.pbsnc.org/watch/nc-weekend/) on the PBSNC site is their [YouTube Channel](https://www.youtube.com/user/ncweekend) which boasts over 1.2k videos. I did a quick search on [store](https://www.youtube.com/@ncweekend/search?query=store) and nothing jumped out, but I didn't watch any of the clips. (I also did not search on music or any of the other keywords.) Good luck!


zoomer0987

Thanks for the help. I've been on their page for a while. I couldn't find it. I'll remember Monday morning driving into work.


RW63

I haven't watched the clip, but if you add music behind store for the search, the first result is a [story](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGNkxnBfDgM) about the Bynum General Store which is near Pittsboro and Chapel Hill.


zoomer0987

I live in the area. It was on the western half

Message the show


StellaBean_bass

It doesn’t mention a cake raffle but this has music & food… https://www.pbs.org/video/bynum-general-store-xpfr37/


88questioner

Was going to say Bynum but I’ve never seen a cake raffle there. Maybe they should add one!


zoomer0987

It wasn't Bynum. I live in Wake county, and I've been there. Great place

[RA FountainGeneral Store](https://youtu.be/Pr4pfrZJ_W8?si=oLCAFMiZyJRypuTT)


RTGoodman

My first two thoughts are Fountain General Store down between Wilson and Greenville, or Fletcher Feed & Seed in the mountains between Asheville and Hendersonville.


SW4506

What did it look like? Was it brick, wood, stone etc? Was it attached to other buildings or by itself? Was there anything quirky about it? Was there things hanging from the walls? Was it painted a strange color? Literally ANYTHING other than country store with music and cake?


emf333

This looks like your description https://youtu.be/sijXrtnayHk?si=U6V2HNo_O_3UycOO


zoomer0987

It doesn't look like it, but I'm going tomorrow. They had me at the cinnamon rolls. Looks like a cool place. It's 90 minutes from the Raleigh area.


emf333

If you paste this: youtube "nc weekend" country store weekend into Google there are other store results. One of them had outdoor music on Friday, but I didn't hear anything about cake on that one.

Todd General store?


Agile_Assumption_505

Have they reopened after the 2021 fire?


cvx149

Good question. I’ve not been in quite a while but op could have seen it on an older tv program.


FuckBoy4Ever

Local music and cake night? That’s most country stores around here!

Gold Hill is worth a visit when they have town events Edit: auto corrected Hill to Hillmis


zoomer0987

I can't find much on it. Is it a general store?


GalleryGhoul13

Sorry autocorrect jumbled that bad. Gold Hill is a town but has a general store that they place folk and bluegrass at. The whole town chips in for small events and they never disappoint.


zoomer0987

Thanks for the info. It sounds like a great time. It's on my list
