Tear, how I miss you Kayenta Trading Post. This picture is dated August 2002. I can not believe this picture was taken in 2002, it seemed like it was just a little while ago. This Trading Post was like family, seriously, every time I returned to Kayenta I would stop in for a visit, walk up and down those aisles taking in the sights and sounds of HOME. It always felt like home to go there. I was loyal to this store, and this story had 80% of things I wanted when I needed to go to the store, and the remaining 20% would take me to all the other stores in town.
This store was here when I was kid, I remember when the parking lot was sand. I remember how Amazed I was when the paved the parking lot. I remember going to this trading post in the late 70's seeing sheep wool, food, clothes for sell in this store. At that time was managed by the Blair's , we use to call it Blair's. "Mom I'm going to Blair's!" Hahaha! I use to buy my shoes from this store and my pants. Wow those were the days.
This store changed owners a couple time in the late 80's and early nineties. But over all the store was pretty much the same. You could come here and rent moves, at one time get something at the deli, you could wire money, make your phone calls from the pay phone. Check out the latest High Tech gadgets at Radio Shack. This store was the best. Oh Kayenta Trading Post I miss you. If Kayenta Trading Post were to open I would drive to it despite the fact that Bashas' is closer to my house. They just had better customer service.
I miss this store, I grew up with it, and now it's gone. :(
