Eastern Shore residents lost a well-known gathering place last December when a fire destroyed Fairhope's Bay Break convenience store.

The Bay Break building, which stands just across Scenic 98 from a city boat ramp, had operated in Fairhope since the 1930s under a few different names, including "Monk Green's." The store sold gas and food items, but was especially known for its unique atmosphere, T-shirts and handmade jewelry.
  
"The store had been around forever," Bay Break operator Laura Grady said. "Ever since the fire in December, people have been coming up to me saying, 'Please bring (the store) back.'"

According to Grady, there was no insurance on the building or its contents when the fire struck Dec. 4, 2008.

Customers will get their chance to help bring the Bay Break back to life on Sunday, June 28, with a benefit concert at Fairhope's American Legion. Grayson Capps, Fat Man Squeeze and Stimulus Package will headline the event, which will be held from 4 to 8 p.m.

For more information, visit www.savebaybreak.com or call Wade Wellborn at Dr. Music, 251-990-3412.

I was in that store everyday as a child..We'd collect coins, walk down to "Monk Greens",  buy a handful of penny candy and sit in the Oak Tree just across Pier St. from the store..I had a horse later in life that I'd ride from Camp Cullin (just up the road), tie it up at the tree, grab a soda, and then me and my horse "Buck" would "run" the  beach (literally) from the ramp to the Legion, pulling kids on skim boards, when the waves action was good, from a rope and harness attached to "Buck".. Then we'd head back to the store, where they kept a bucket of  water  for the neighborhood horse-power.. We'd cool off and head out again...That store was a HUGE part of my childhood..

So sorry that I missed this, and so many of you all's recent shows. I've been absolutely swamped with work and things. I sure do miss you boys and your stellar tunes!
