People like her like her is what made America the greatest country ever and she's a living legend
For sure
When I see these stories about the real America it earns my heart
WHAT A SWEETHEART! AND PRETTY AS A DOLL ! Please tell Mrs.Thelma she warmed my heart , Americans like her - hard working,modest,and caring for the people around her - are the backbone that made America stand strong and proud !
Thanks for watching!
Salt of the earth,, best people on earth.. Love me a Thelma.
Thelma was my best buddy growing up , we were neighbors, I was a teenager and I spent a lot time with her , I loved her so much, I ask my niece who lives close to her about Thelma, and had told my husband I wanted to go see her just a few days ago and then I found this on here oh are , what a coincidence! Thelma if you are reading this I want you to know you great part of my childhood memories, great memories spending time with you
Thank you so much for SUBSCRIBING to my Channel and making a comment, I love to hear what people have to say. What state do you watch my videos from? John
hear that
Central Florida 15 miles south of. Lakeland. Bradley junction
Literally a staple in human existence. such beautiful dedication and love for her work. she deserves a statue.
Yes it does and so does she
I met Thelma Frogg this past weekend. She made such an impact on me that I googled her name. I am so glad this video popped up!! I have to share that in August of 2022 Les is still walking up. I just realized that is the man who was walking up to "bring her her medicine" when I left the other day.
Thank you watching my videos and please subscribe to my channel, I could use some help growing. Many Thanks, John Ward

How sweet
I was born in 1956. I did get to travel with my daddy and see old places like this. I loved it.
thank you for your comments my friend:
At one time you could find these special little places up and down the East Coast as well. I've traveled all over this great country and they are getting harder and harder to just come upon or find. The best have open hearts and treat everyone like good neighbors.
Me too! June of 1956. I love the Mom and Pop stores.
Indeed a caring, dedicated businesswoman, mother, wife and friend to the community.
Thanks for watching and your comment
Wow, god bless you Thelma, what a lovely name. I adore her stories, I’d love to hear more. I’m sure she could write a book. Best wishes from Ireland 🇮🇪 Thelma
Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching
Wish I could go spend the day with her. She’s a sweet sweet lady! God bless you Thelma Frogg! ❤️🙏🏻
She’d love for you to stop in. She loves the passers by
She’s such a sweet soul. I need to swing by her store next time I’m in Scott County
thanks for the comment there my friend..
Thelma, she's one of those we hear called "a dying breed" . I do on site lawn mower repair and I hear the phrase often. God bless her
Thanks for watching and your comment
This vid popped up and I'll tell you what, both Thelma Frogg and her good friend Les stole my heart. Thank You John, for all you do to make and share these films with us. You have the best job, being able to interact with folks like them. They touch one's heart and life.

Like a lot of other folks here I too was born in 1956. It seems interestingly strange to me that this lady was just opening her store and beginning her life there when my parents had me - and I was beginning my life. So much fun! Thank you for a wonderful video! 🥰
Thank you for the comment my friend: What State do you watch my videos from?
The Lone Star state! Houston, Texas, Ya’LL! 🥰
I enjoyed meeting Thelma! She's a very strong woman. She reminds me of my Mama and her Sister, you just cant slow them down. It's in their bones. Im looking forward to visiting with Thelma again!! Oh, btw, i think her little friend liked her for more than just friend's. They are just precious!!
I love what youre bringing to me & sharing Appalachia with me daily, John.
Awesome work youre doing to keep the past alive!!! God Bless and keep you close to Him in all of your travels!!
Thanks again!!

She was ready for Dinner, very cool. We will be down in May or June for a visit with my Two Brothers, the Oldest and Youngest.
thanks for the comment there my friend..
Hey maybe you can come and meet us so I can show Cades Cove along with the Wears Valley area where my family settled in the 1700 from Virginia and Boston, we have our family traced back to 930 from Normandy. Also tons of home places where out family was bought out by the Park Division for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the Walker Sister was apart of our Family. Out family was some of the first settlers from the north, Scotts and Irish along with the Abbott’s were English from Sir Morris Abbott Google his name and read his Accolades. A very very Prominent Man in England then reaching into the New World. Family that has fought in the war of 1812, Revolutionary War, Civil War, every War to Date. Lots of History in Tennessee.
How fun! I can’t image bringing up a bunch of kids in the back of that store….I loved that little table, you could sit there with a cup f coffee looking out and watching people go by.✝️🇺🇸💕
Great idea!!
How interesting! I love your channel...it's like getting to go loafering around to see the kind of places I like without having to leave the house. Thank you for making these videos ❤

Another great story. Thanks 🙂🙏
Thanks for listening
My buddy and I ride dual sport motorcycles all over the Appalachian range and visit these old stores and meet these awesome folks. That big snow she was talking about, we got caught in it around Front Royal and Skyline Drive on our bikes. Grew up in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains and still haven't found a better place. I'm so glad we found your channel. I'm marking these little stores on the map while I watch. Planning a trip this spring now to ride up 116 up around new river and into Kentucky! Appreciate you documenting these man!!
Thanks that means so much, thanks for watching

@@theappalachianchannel Central Texas. I truly appreciate you and how you are documenting the unique area of appalachia. I spent a number of years on the coast of NC. Elizabeth City area.
Makes America great yes I agree, but that expression has come to mean something that made America cringe unfortunately.
This is American History at its finest! Thank you much!!!

Great to hear that you like my channel here. What state are you from?
Beautiful Precious Memories Sweetheart's..❤🤍💙⚘🎚🍑
Thanks for watching
I think some of the people in the community should get together and find a way to keep that store
in business . Even after the time comes when GOD CALLS
MS THELMA HOME TO HEAVEN.
I believe this would make Ms Thelma very happy to know that someone out there still cares
to keep this store in business for many more years to come.

Unfortunately once these things change hands, new owners are forced to change practically everything due to modern codes and specifications, often so much so that they lose all heart and recognition of what once was.
She is the sweetest woman!!
Yes she is
I enjoyed seeing this heartwarming video... I think Les is sweet on Thelma :) John, I hope you bought a few things from Thelma.
Nice video thank you for shareing

Thank you sir for some more history
Thank you for the comment, you can also find my videos on Facebook under Appalachian Homes People and places.
God Bless Thelma and Her Dear friend Les!
There are so few of these places left. One I loved was practically on the state line in Nyack New York, with a vintage Indian Motorcycle sign, sold fresh fruits, vegetables, pies from it's own little side stand from the gas station which had an awning with pumps like this one. They would sometimes be filming scenes there. Woodie Allen did "Purple Rose Of Cairo" nearby in Piermont N.Y. as well. It was so laid back, casually elegant and beautiful before the Real Estate started flipping constantly and all the locals were forced out.
