Michelle Smith, office manager at Corky's Plumbing, and Elaine Medina, far right, who works at the Dolores General Store, pose with customer Frank Skuse. Smith has worked at Corky's Plumbing for about five months, and Medina works at the General Store over the summer, as she is a preschool teacher at Teddy Bear Preschool during the school year. Skuse and his wife have been living in Dolores over the summer for six years. He says he loves the general store, where you can go to get just about anything, including ice cream, which he bought on Tuesday. Medina said the store is truly an "old-fashioned" general store. A store where you can get anything from hardware, tools, fishing supplies, gardening supplies and so much more.
