430 Emory Avenue, The Burg.



430 Emory Avenue, The Burg.
Once upon a time this was Bill's Grocery Store.
Owner: William Landolfi:)
I am told it was referred to as Willie's by the folks
from The Washington Playground Facebook Group when they
were kids :)

WILLIE LANDOLFI WAS ONE OF THE WONDERFUL FOLKS AT VILLAGE II ON LALOR STREET THAT I VISIT EACH SUNDAY MORNIMG AS I BRING THE HOLY EUCHARIST (COMMUNION) TO THOSE WHO CAN'T GET TO A BRICK AND MORTAR CHURCH. WILLIE WAS ALWAYS READY WITH THAT WILLING SMILE AND PERSONALITY. WE ALL MISS HIM.

Hey Mack, I had to pass Willie's twice a day when attending Washington School. He did seem to have everything in such a small store and the most welcoming smile which made kids want to stop in. Nice pic!

Hi Tom & Vince..

While I was not familiar with Willie many friends were..a recurring theme of this blog is how many nice folks owned businesses and are fondly remembered. And they all deserve it:)
