Martha's Market at 5 Points


Martha's Market is located at 5 Points which is located on Highway 431.  Lyrics to a Lynyrd Skynyrd song describes this long time, local store that has not changed through the years.  In fact, it only has gotten better with age.  I thought it deserved more than just a typical photo so I applied a dry brush technique to bring out the character of the building and its surroundings.  You can do a search on Google for Martha's Market at 5 Points and you get Martha's Vineyard.  Let's just call it the Martha's Vineyard of Chambers County Alabama.  After all, they had Vine Ripe Tomatoes for sale and they are just as good as you can buy at Martha's Vineyard or better!

"Ain't no change in the weather
Ain't no changes in me
Well there ain't no change in the weather
Ain't no changes in me
And I ain't hidin' from nobody
Nobody's hidin' from me
Oh, that's the way its supposed to be"
