Elva’s Old P.O.

Here lies the cutest Blue Q store I ever did see. Elva’s Old P.O. on Monhegan Island, 10 miles off the coast of Maine. You have to get there by boat. There are only a dozen vehicles on the island (and some renegade golf carts).
And I was lucky enough to be there (on vacation – yeeeee hawwww!!!).
I hate to even tell you where Monhegan Island is, because then, you see, you will go and then you will all be there and it won’t be the bestest little place ever but heck, what’re’ya’gonna’do?
There’s a wonderful photo essay done by Amy Toensing on the island (go to her site – click on National Geographic and then click on Monhegan Island).
It’s got a tiny year round population, and the weather is tough to get through (although the locals will tell you that their favorite part of the year is the Winter), but during the Summer, it’s a great place to check out.
I mean come on, does a store get any cuter? It used to be (yep, you guessed it) the old Post Office, run by Elva.
The proprietor said that the Weed Bank sells quite well (and by amazing coincidence a kid behind me hand one in his hand for purchase).
Are You Adult Enough? (for Blue Q?)
Here’s a view looking out….
We LOVE profiling our stores. If you have a favorite one, please send on over!!
