Bo's General Store, once the Helme Tobacco Co. cantina, still serves a vital role in the borough. On most days, there's always something to talk about at Bo's General Store. Morning coffee and the latest news, served up Helmetta style.
Word of mouth is how most news gets around town, locals say.
Andrew Tidd, standing, and Roger Bloomfield, both sub-contractors in the borough, share news and morning coffee on the front porch of Bo's General Store on Main Street. Today there's something to sing about. All three of Bo's waitresses, Terri, Angie and Nancy, are celebrating a birthday today. And maybe the only secret in Helmetta that's safe at Bo's is their ages. If someone has a baby, everybody knows it.
