The Jewel
Our local grocery store is called The Jewel. Osco is the drugstore associated with it. If I need to go to the store, I say I am going to the Jewel.....everyone understands what you mean. This was taken in between a downpour of rain..
That reminds me of the only day when it rained when I was in Florida two years ago. I took almost the same photo except that I was in front of Wall Mart, not Jewel!
Short names work best for well known businesses.
ReplyDeleteA jewel of a store it must be!
ReplyDeleteNever heard of either of those stores. Sure beats "Wally World" lol
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this store. I liked your series on the church.
ReplyDeleteIt looks a friendly, small size store, in contrast to the not so friendly sky...

ReplyDeleteIn Portugal if you ask for “Continent” everyone knows, the store must be equal.
ReplyDeleteI like the name Jewel for a store. I've never heard of this one before. It must be specific to the midwest. Thanks for introducing us to your city!
