those corner markets,grocery

roge 51 posts Aug 06, 2010 5:14 PM	It seemed like when I was coming up here in Dayton there was always a grocery or market in the neighborhood,most on a corner that had something special you could buy,I remember Bill"s Mkt. at Torrence and Fourth where you could get Getup pop,it tasted like 7up,where was your favorite store?

Both stores were true 'mom and pop' stores, located at a corner in the middle of the neighborhood. Both stores had different selections of candy, soda, chips and snacks then did Kroger's and Liberal. Loved both stores.

I lived on Nordale about 1/3 block east of Detrick's from about 1954 to 1962 and was there virtually every day. I still remember how nice Mr. Detrick was. A first class guy. To this day I can still picture him in my mind, along with the guy who was the butcher. (Remember that little butcher shop area in the back?) I can't remember the butcher's name, though. Carl, maybe? I bought many a bottle of Choc-ola from Detrick's. I'd love to know if there are any remaining remnants from the building's days as a market.
donw 34 posts Aug 07, 2010 3:17 PM	Hankster, I always called it "the Nordale meat market", and it was in a thread here a few weeks ago that you reminded me that the proper name of the place was Detrick's (I had known it as a kid, but it was like a 45+ year old memory that you reminded me of.) Those were two classic neighborhood carry-outs, probably put in before zoning restrictions were fully implemented in the neighborhood. Somewhere in my personal junk in the basement I have a newspaper clipping about the death of Mr. Wood, owner of the Bellaire Market, from the 70s sometime. Last Edited on 7-Aug-2010 3:17 PM

Riverdale Ghost 96 posts Aug 07, 2010 4:58 PM	gris66, Wasn't there a small grocery store at one time next to Baker's Drug Store? I vaguely recall four small businesses there, the drug store, a beauty shop, a grocery maybe and something else, but I have no idea what anymore.

gris66 27 posts Aug 07, 2010 7:20 PM	Yep... you're right about that. There were three or four little shops next to Bake's. One was a small store. My memory is getting foggy as to which was next to the alley... the grocer or Bake's. But there was a hair dresser and, at the furthest east shop, maybe an insurance agent or cpa? Old age...
Mikey 102 posts Aug 08, 2010 10:06 AM	circa 1945-1955; Rosie's Corner, Hoover and Burleigh, across from Westwood School, was owned by the Earl Unger family. There was a small, but well stocked grocery with meat counter in the front and a restaurant/beer joint in the back, but strictly family atmosphere. Earl served lunches to Westwood kids that couldn't get home for lunch, like the Gardendale community kids or those whose moms had put on their white gloves and gone "downtown" for the day. Lunch was a good burger or grilled cheese, fries and milk for 45 cents. The burgers were made ahead and served from an aluminum pan covered by a towel. two blocks away was Drummond and Sloan, a real grocery store, but not open the hours that Rosie's was. ---------- Mikey, Gatlinburg, TN Last Edited on 12-Oct-2010 9:00 AM

delcodude 44 posts Aug 09, 2010 9:57 PM	Flohre's mkt on Jersey and Burkhardt. They had things like gutta and head cheese, along with other food oddities. Really old fashioned grocery.
RIVERDALE RAT 430 posts Aug 14, 2010 12:03 AM	delcodude: I remember Flohre's very well, it was owned and operated by a man and wife and their oldest (maybe only) Son. they lived upstairs if memory serves. the stairs was in the rear of the store at the end of the meat case. done a google search not long ago and it looks like the place is still there. I used to catch the old #2 Trolley into town at the stop right on the corner in front of the store. I see old Mr. Hicks marathon is still standing too (although it's an ice cream place now)
robk416 1 post Aug 15, 2010 12:37 PM	Hey everyone. Im new to the board but not the site. Ive been reading interesting history articles here for some time but just recently found the "Ask a History Question" area. I love this whole site! Even though Im only 28 and was born after most of the topics on here occured, Ive heard stories from my father who lived on Xenia Avenue right next to Smales Bakery. Now on to info pertaining to this thread. The Nordale Market youre referring to in your posts is still there although I dont know what the inside looks like. I walk past it with my children and always wondered what it once was. I know someone lives above it, not sure about the lower half. Thanks for letting a newbie in. Also Ive turned my dad on to this site and I think he registered. Will we be the first father/son duo on here? lol
delcodude 47 posts Aug 16, 2010 9:45 AM	RIVERDALE RAT You have a good recollection. The Flohre's are family friends. I worked with Ray (the son) for many years at Delco.
RIVERDALE RAT 451 posts Aug 17, 2010 6:07 PM	delcodude: That's amazing! Is Ray still around? I can close my eyes and picture his Mom and Dad like it was yesterday. My Mother and I used to go visiting near there on Saturday’s and would walk down to their store to get a soda and wait inside and watch for the trolley, (Mom was scared to drive) My Mother and the Flohre's would get to jabbering so much that we would stay there and miss 6 or 8 Trolley's. Pretty soon the visit to Flohre's became a regular part of our Saturday’s. I used to play the old upright Penny Football game that was sitting by the front door, it was lever operated and used steel ball bearings for balls. Those Day's are among some of my favorite childhood memories. The Flohre's were fine people. And now that I have heard it, I do remember the Son's Name being Ray, Kind of a stocky kid with Black hair (if memory serves) Last Edited on 17-Aug-2010 6:12 PM

Hankster65 37 posts Aug 20, 2010 7:01 AM	Robk416, welcome aboard! If you ever happen to have a chance to talk to the current occupants of the Detrick's Market on Nordale I'd love to know if there's anything left at all of the old market. I'm guessing you live on Nordale or close abouts. I grew up at 436 Nordale. It was a great neighborhood where everyone knew everyone.

RIVERDALE RAT 472 posts Aug 20, 2010 7:41 PM	newsnot: It's been going on 40 Year's since I played that thing, I can't be sure of the Name of the game. It sounds about right though. It was a lot of fun and pretty entertaining for those day's.
delcodude 53 posts Aug 29, 2010 12:37 PM	Riverdale Rat Ray passed a couple years back. He was a great friend of mine. He told me they used to eat fried lard sandwiches as kids, which I still can't imagine. His lovely wife and he never had any children, and she is still very active in her work at Immaculate Conception.
tnich123 4 posts Sep 04, 2010 8:09 AM	On the corner of Hudson & Main there was grocery. I think the name was Drumond & Slones. (It is a used funiture store now) The opposite corner was Marion's Sandwich & Ice Cream Shop. Also on Main Street just south of Siebenthaler was a grocery but I don't remember the name. The short cut to the store was to cut through the alley and go in the back door. That was where the popsicle & ice cream freezer was. Later it was a bicycle shop.
Riverdale Ghost 106 posts Sep 04, 2010 8:30 AM	tnich123, It's interesting that you would remember that. (Big grin) --> When I was born, my parents had an apartment above Marion's Sandwich & Ice Cream Shop, which wasn't Marion's then. There was (as I understand it) a little grocery and a bar and grill on the ground floor of that building. I don't know much about that as we moved to Westwood when I was about three years old, but I think that the name of the supermarket type store was Drummond & Sloan. In the late '40s and early '50s there was a small grocery nearly every two blocks from the North Main Street bridge for at least about two miles the lenght of North Main Street. Even the Liberal Market was just a little place, but like Drummond & Sloan, big for it's time. There were also some small markets on the side streets, especially to the west of course as the Stillwater River is to the east. ---------- Honest Communications Is The Foundation of Civilizations.

RIVERDALE RAT 546 posts Sep 04, 2010 11:23 AM	delcodude: Sorry to hear of Ray's passing, he must have went a bit early. Seems like he would have been in his 60s. I always remember him as having a smile on his face for everyone. The fried lard sandwiches are a hoot, I dont even know how you could fry lard without it melting into a pool of grease. Who has the old store now, any idea? Last Edited on 4-Sep-2010 11:25 AM
fishers1951 18 posts Sep 23, 2010 7:12 PM	I grew up (until about age 10) on Hillcrest just east(?) of Fariview HighSchool. There was corner grocery at Hillcrest and Lynn avenue just across the street from our house... anybody know that area and can tell me the name of the store. Might have been owned by family called "Rupert"
Lgrando67 26 posts Sep 23, 2010 7:40 PM	fisher... Was it next to a tax preparer? I remember one there for years. hk9phj
fishers1951 19 posts Sep 24, 2010 6:24 PM	Lgrando67 - yes, thanks - I am pretty sure it was called Ruperts Grocery. We lived just across the street until I was in the 3rd grade - circa 1964. I remember the owners were very nice and they were fond of me and my older sister. I can see them pulling things from the high shelves with those poles. In relation, there was also a "corner" drug store at Hillcrest and Catalpa - Kellys Drug STore, I think. My older brother worked for Mr. Kelly all during his high school.
Lgrando67 27 posts Sep 24, 2010 9:29 PM	fishers1951 Wasn't that drugstore at Hillcrest and Catalpa called Birmingham's? Kind of across the street from The Catalpa Club and Knife's Market. Or was Birmingham's somewhere else? I thought Ray's Drugstore was originally Kelly's. But I am wrong a lot. In the 60's there was a 9 block section of Salem Avenue between Catalpa Dr. and Miami Hardware that had 5 drugstores but only 4 soda fountains.
ejbrown 3 posts Oct 05, 2010 5:48 PM	I grew up with Fouts Bros Grocery at Wheatley and Fairview. They had a meat counter. I remember stopping there for a 5 cent roll of Lifesavers with my mom on my first day of kindergarten and years later every day after my paper route for a bottle of Pepsi and bag of chips. Pop 25 cents, chips 10 cents.
Hankster65 67 posts Oct 05, 2010 9:44 PM	EJBrown, I don't know why exactly, but that mention of a 5 cent roll of Lifesavers really hit me. Geez, that reference brought back the past in a way akin to sniffing cologne from days gone by. Thanks for transporting me back for a second or two!
Tezan Zo 2 posts Oct 06, 2010 4:08 AM	Woody's market, had the best Chicken saled I ever ate. It shut sown a few years back. Does anyone know the recipie for that? Would love to know it or if any place has picked it up and is selling it, even better! Thanks, man these posts bring back memories, I lived in Morane, kettering, West Carrolton, Centerville and Tipp city, Ileft after graduation in 1980, I used to make the pilgramage back every year or to, to pick up Woody's chiken salad, to eat at the ponderosa, they used to have a test kitchen in Tipp city, and bring home some Barq's cream soda! They don't do that here in Chattanooga. Antway, reading this has been a blast, thanks. Last Edited on 9-Oct-2010 1:08 AM
Mikey 109 posts Oct 12, 2010 9:05 AM	I have been trying for years to recover/discover some of Woody's recipes. In my H.S. years and later, I lived in WC and attended WCHS with all of Woody Bowman's kids. I know them and know that they have the recipes and I still can't get them! ---------- Mikey, Gatlinburg, TN Last Edited on 12-Oct-2010 9:06 AM

A Yelp reviewer states "helping UD students get beer for more than 50 years". Probably true... We also had 'The Little Store' on Ewalt St. just off Smithville. Closed, it's just a residence now.
