Since you posted a couple of new pages in the section known as Our Old Stomping Grounds, let me add a comment about Pittman's Grocery which was located at 26th Street and Marshall Avenue in East End.
The owner of this grocery
store lived on the second floor of this brick structure. His son,
Merritt Guy Pittman, was in the Class of 1957. We used
to ride the Citizens Rapid Transit
bus to school from the bus stop on the corner of Marshall
Avenue and 28th Street. When Mr. Pittman sold the business, he provided an
opportunity for his long time employee, the butcher, to purchase the
business. I should be able to remember this name, but it escapes me right
now. Duhhh. If you would like, I'll can call you about 0200 when I
recall his name.

Well, Joe, not even six years have passed, and we already have an answer to this mystery! The new owner's name was R.C. Satchell! |
