Grew up in this neighborhood just 4 blocks north. Delivered papers to some of the businesses on So.Grand. There used to be a soda fountain in this building in the late 50’s and early 60’s I was 2 years-old when this photo was taken.
Blalock’s was one of the neatest stores. You could find so many things in there. Next door was Madison Furniture, which carried high quality furniture. In the 1970s cable TV had come to Springfield and the office for cable was a few buildings down on this same side of the street.
My parents owned the So. Town Grill Restaurant and I spent many hours at Blalock’s, admiring all the cosmetics and sitting on the floor in the back, reading The Bobsey Twins books.
