New Liquor store on 2nd and Littler

[jerrywall]

So I've been watching something go in at the space next to the Subway at 2nd and littler. I found out this week it will be a large liquor store I think this is a decent use for the space, and hopefully it will actually stay there a while. It seems like this space has been a revolving door since the Blockbuster closed. It looks like they're going for a very upscale look inside.

I always have sort of a soft place for that space, since a lifetime ago it was my family's grocery store.

I used to like to shop at Redbud. Its been a while since then.

Ops, you put a life time. WOW, that makes me feel old.

Well, I was a kid when it closed down. It was my Grandfather's and Father's place.

Just curious to know when this was. Approx. how long ago?

[jerrywall]

1984 or so.

Gotcha. My family had a few stores, and a restaurant there in downtown Edmond right around the corner, in the same era. So, I didn't remember the grocery store...but I was also pretty young at the time.

Are we talking about the space where a gym was, recently?

[jerrywall]

Yup.

We stopped in traffic on 2nd street yesterday and from the street, you can see the word "GINN" in silver letters inside on the wall. My daughter and I had a chuckle when she saw that the Gym had been replaced with Ginn.
