Latimer's grocery on Detroit Street in Xenia.
The only people that ever worked there for many years was Mr. and Mrs. Latimer. He would make us a great sub for I think only 25ยข. We always stopped on our way home from school if only just to say hi. Very, very nice people

Swindlers Market on Koehler Ave in Northridge. It was owned by Howard and Hazel Swindler. Used to get a coke for seven cents and a candy bar for a nickle.First place I ever played a Pinball Machine. Howard would let us kids charge stuff and pay him when we had the money. Talk about the good old days.I would cut grass and then go there and spend the money on pop and candy in the early 60's.Then sit on the porch of the store and eat and drink pop till all the money was gone.After they closed the store a guy put in pool tables and had a little pool hall for a while. It is an apartment now.

I grew up in Belmont in the sixties. We had 2 corner
grocery stores, within 1 block of our house. Helms was
at the corner of Woodbine and Pershing, and Hussong's
was at Woodbine and Rosemont. Both stores were family
owned and operated. Hussong's had an entire case of
'penny' candy. Helms had an amazing soda pop section.
I loved both stores.

There was one on Wayne Ave., just a few blocks from Smithville. More butcher than grocery really. Can't remember the name of it though. Anyone ...?

one block north of Wayne, on Smithville (east side) was
Steberel's. Gus was the owner - just died last year
at the age of 97.

Among the nicest were the Drummond and Sloan stores. I know of two - in Westwood on Hoover Ave and in Oakwood. They were wonderful, as all neighborhood stores should be. The Westwood store was on the largeish side (but then, I was only three feet tall.) There was a wonderful meat counter - with sawdust, where the butcher always asked if you had a dog. If you did, there was always a nice bone with your meat.

I remember Estridge's Market on Hoover Ave. The main thing I remember is that they would let you "plug" watermelons to make sure you got a ripe one. And I got to eat the plug!

JeffN:
After WWII, Vic Cassano bought a pizza oven and installed it in the back of his mother-in-law's market at W. Schantz Ave and the Kettering Blvd/Dixie/Patterson intersection. In the mid fifties, her small grocery store closed, to become a gasoline station, where the ambulance garage is located now, on W. Schantz Ave. The pizza store moved into a nice, new brick two story office building across the street from the original grocery location. I think that I remember it moving from one end to the other of that building for more room sometime in the sixties.
The traditional folk-lore is that Marion Glass somehow obtained the Cassano crust recipe and Marion's uses that recipe to this day. The Cassano recipe has undergone many variations.

Just remembered....
there was a small grocery on Ewalt Ave. between Kingston and Dwight. It was a house with the store attached. All house now. We always called it 'the little store'.
