[caption id="attachment_21554" align="alignleft" width="225"] Sunshine General Store, Brookeville, MD[/caption] The first week of April saw my wife and I take a trip to Baltimore so she could attend a training for a new business venture we are starting. While there, I worked and also ventured out. As I always do, I try to find interesting one-off places to eat. On one of the days I drove about 40 minutes west to the small town of Brookeville to meet a co-worked of mine from PopCulture.com. I had looked for an "interesting" place to meet near to where he lived near West Virginia. So, I came across a place called the Sunshine General Store.
