The unexpected, but unironic, answer was pie.
Knapp, 65, is the owner of the Pie-O-Neer shop in Pie Town but she announced in July that after more than two decades in business, she was closing permanently. The shop has gained national recognition, being featured in numerous publications, shows and even a documentary.
Pie Town locals gather for a potluck during an all-day community sing in June of 1940. The ladies are setting out baked goods.
Knapp said she and her partner Stanley King had already planned on selling the place and retiring in a few years, once they found buyers to take over the operation, but the pandemic condensed their timeline.
