Our family grocery store - circa 1975

Found this picture of Uncle Vito manning the deli counter. How many products can you name?



And no, those aren't the fake, wax cheeses displayed in today's stores - my father was a big believer in inventory, and plenty of it. That's a lot of $$ worth of Auricchio right there.

Great photo, John!

I was just having an e-mail discusison with someone about my love for old photos, no matter whether they are my family or someone else's. And vernacular photos rule.

I see where you get your looks.

There must have been a lovely aroma in there (I pity any guide dogs going in though!). My sort of shop!

Great photo John! What yr was it taken? I wish I could name at least one item...LOL! It looks like the Celentano's we used to have by us when I was young. That's where my Mom would buy fresh ravioli. I remember is always smelled like stinky cheese...LOL!

btw, my Dad's name is Vito...

Man, I wish we had that store here in Sacto.
