HELLO BOB

JOHN IS RIGHT ABOUT THE WAY BUSINESS WAS CONDUCTED IN MOST
STORES IN GREENFIELD PARK. GOODS OUT FRONT, LIVING QUARTERS,
BEHIND OR UPSTAIRS.
THIS PARTICULAR STORE JOHN IS REFERRING TO IS NOT THE
CAFE / CANDY STORE ON CHURCHILL. JOHN RUB YOUR EYES, YOU
PASSED THIS CANDY STORE EVERYDAY, ON YOUR WAY TO THE BRAIN
FACTORY ON SPRINGFIELD.RICHARD W..........

Hi Bob .................. The blog this morning showed a small store with Coca Cola signs on the outside walls ................ Well unless I have totally lost it I would say that it's Smith's Store on Springfield and Maple very near Royal George School. We certainly bought a lot of junk candy etc. in that place. The last I heard Mrs. Smith was still alive and living in St. Lambert!! .............. Maybe someone has an update on her whereabouts!! - Win

Thanks Richard and Win
