Wanted:

Photos: -Ashland's Neighborhood Grocery Stores  - 

The museum has very little information about the many grocery stores that stood on the corners of Ashland neighborhoods. We have their names and addresses, but would love to create a photo and memory file of these stores. If you have a photo of the grocery store in your neighborhood, please bring it to the Museum so we can scan it for our files, or email the photo to us. Please scan the photo at 300dpi or higher.  If you have any stories, please share them with us by writing them down and bring or send them to  us. Without your photos or stories, the history of these neighborhood stores will not be complete.
