Julie Porter and I use to go over there with lots of soda pop bottles, get deposit money from them, and buy candy. Then we also would go to the back to watch Mr. Mitchell turn live chickens into "those which" were sold in the market for roasting, etc. Yep, during the 40s and 50s! Happy we can share our memories, David. Helen David, same here about Mitchell’s Grocery!

I can't believe this picture. I grew up three houses to the right at 1203 West Ash. I also used to go down to get a cold soda on summer afternoons. I will never forget the slam of the screen door as you entered and the smell of old wood floor and produce. I remember Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell like it was yesterday! Today, I get my hair done here. Thanks for the memories. Wow! I can’t believe this picture. I grew up three houses to the right at 1203 West Ash. I also used to go down to get a cold soda on summer afternoons.

Origanally on MacArther accross from the Esquire Theater, it was one of Springfields first fun gift shops with 'groovy new items for sale!

He was the butcher and his wife was the cashier. This was our neighborhood market. I used to ride my bicycle over to Mitchell's and get an ice-cold soda from the machine that was filled with ice water. My mom ran a tab there and I just charged the soda to her account. That was back in the 1940's and 50's. If I’m not mistaken, a man by the name of Harley Mitchell owned this market. He was the butcher and his wife was the cashier. This was our neighborhood market.
