Jot Em Down Store is an unincorporated community in Pierce County northwest of the county seat of Blackshear, Georgia, United States. It is part of the Waycross Micropolitan Statistical Area. HistoryThe community name was originally derived from the name of a store that was once at this location. Jot Em Down Store was a local feed and seed store that acted as a general store for the farmers in the area. When the farmers met hard times in the late 80's to early 90's, the store was forced to close. Now closed & demolished as part of a realignment of the intersection of James Loop, Old Alma Rd. & State Route 203 [1], however the name is still referenced by locals. The name, Jot Em Down Store, was a popular name for general stores in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The name was derived from the store owner jotting down what the customer purchased and allowing the customer to pay later.
