Back in late 1978, my Grandfather was running a small neighborhood grocery store in Old Louisville at 4th and Gaulbert.  Below is an article that I scanned in from The Messenger, talking about the closing of the store because of Urban Renewal among other things.  This is a nice piece of family history.

I remember going down to the store as a kid.  The wooden floors, high ceilings, the one little spin rack with toys and trinkits, the meat cutting area in the back.  I wish there were more but time has suppressed or deleted the rest of them…I was 6 years old at the time also.
