Louisville Scan

I'm still looking through my old pictures. The scan that I am posting today is not really all that significant - except it reminded me of a routine that my Dad followed just about every week day - and sometimes even on the weekends. Since I was usually with him, the picture reminded me of the times that I spent with my father.

The picture shows the location of what use to be an A&P grocery store. The location is around 25th and Market Street, if I remember correctly. I took the picture quite a few years back. I have no idea of how the building is currently being used. My Dad and I would stop off at the A&P on our way to the restaurant that he owned. My childhood was split between time spent in the Westend of Louisville, where we lived, and an equal amount of time at the Imperial Coffee Shop in downtown Louisville (7th and Jefferson). Because of my childhood experience, working at the restaurant at a very young age, I always knew what I did not want to do vocationally - own a restaurant. It's a seven day a week job with very long hours each day. When you are not working in the business, you are out shopping for things that you need for the business - hence our frequent visits to the A&P grocery.

I still do a lot of the grocery shopping for our house. It probably can be attributed to all that time I spent in the A&P in Louisville, with my father.
