I originally made this blog post in August 2009. Over past few years I have been contacted by people who used to shop here, and by the Ehrlich family. Below is a great picture sent in by the family. In the photo is Emil and Otto Ehrlich in July 1943. The photo was sent in by Otto's son, Ron. If you click on the photos you can get a larger view. I really like that the tile and storefront are the same now as 1943, not like the 1986 photo I took. I also like that in the glass you can see reflections of lots of old buildings.  Thanks Ron for the great photo.
