Question for the group. Old groceries stores - a class member is wondering if anyone remembers what was in the Miller Pharmacy location near the hospital before Miller...
Larry F. replied:
The Larsen Grocery builidng was torn down in 1958 and Daniels Rexall built at the location. (based on several reliable reporters, including Vern Greunke.)
Jeff P. replied:
1958 directory shows Daniel Rexall Drugs, two locations, 541 N Main and 22 nd &C. I'm not disputing the Larsen Grocery but it is interesting that eight years prior, in 1950, the directory did not list any grocery store at that location. It could be they chose to stay out of the phone book or they built or converted another building for the store which was subsequently razed for the pharmacy. There was a Larsen Produce in 1950, but it was at 1101 N Pierce.
As some of you might know, we took the phone booth that used to be in front of Clarks/C&K grocery.
I was looking for a little history on the phone booth. James King...
