Goats on the Roof

Posted by Alex in Animal, Travel & Places on August 1, 2008 at 3:16 pm


Neatorama reader Bruno and friends went camping at Lake Rabun, Georgia, and ran across this charming little country souvenir store/grocery called "Goats on the Roof." As you can guess, the store got its name from the actual goats that live on the roof. (Yes, the roof has grass, bridges, a few goats, a huge bunny and a rooster) – Thanks Bruno!

    Here be a FAQ from Al Johnson's Swedish restaurant in Door County, WI, that also features goats on the roof. Such probing questions include:
    Do the goats ever fall off the roof?
    No.
    Do you have to mow the roof?
    Yes just like a lawn.

    The website for the Old Country Market (better known as Goats on the Roof) in Coombs, BC is: http://www.oldcountrymarket.com/index.html

    They make a great kitchen sink omelette.

    They got their name from the goats on the roof?

    Really, why let a goat name your store?

    There is a small market in Coombs BC (on Vancouver Island) that has had goats on the roof for some 20+ years. It's fun.

    Thats because from the elevation of the roof, the dog can lift his leg and piss on every tree in the whole nursery................All at once!

    Just think, when you were there shopping for Queen Palms, you thought it was raining cats & dogs.
    But it was just dogs'......................piss!
