Listening to the talk about this little grocery store makes me wonder if this is the store that I was told that my cousin Jack Ramsey owned? It was supposedly located Barrow and Porter Street. Can anybody confirm this information for me. Thanks in advance.

When I was 8 years old (1953), I was riding my sister's brand new tricycle. The cycle was too tall for her and my Grandfather put wooden blocks on the pedals and held them in place with cotter pins. I was pedaling too fast, held my legs out to coast and the pin caught the back of my leg and made a 6" gash on the back of my calf. After Dr. Harold McCormick stitched it up, I was sent home for complete bedrest for 2 weeks. There was a neighborhood grocery and I only remember the owners as "John and Wilma" who closed the store one morning and walked to our house and gave me a box of 12 Hershey Bars to help my recuperation. We weren't friends; just customers...........but, that's what folks did years ago. Moberly was definitely a "Mayberry RFD" kinda place back then. Thanks for the memories!

As you said, Jack Ramsey owned a little grocery store at the corner of Barrow and Porter Streets just across the street from East Park School. When my husband and I were first married we lived at 528 Barrow and did most of our shopping there. We didn't own a car and could only buy what we could carry at one time. Needless to say, we made a lot of trips! There was also a little store on Farror Street but it did not have the variety that Jack did, so we didn't shop there. It was probably in the 400 or 500 block. There was not a street dividing those two blocks, so I don't remember for sure what the address was.
