Our family history is a familiar 20th century one. Immigrant grandparents came to this country in the early 1900’s from Europe. They opened a grocery store – the kind where some things were behind a counter. They lived above the store, started a family and then moved the business to the “suburbs”.
This is a photo of David’s Supermarket. It was originally opened at the corner of 40th and Bull Street in midtown Savannah. Not just a grocery store, but a more modern version for the early 1930’s and staffed by who else? Mostly family members. (Including both Picking Sisters.)
Now David’s Supermarket is closed, but weren’t we smart to snag the neon letters from the building before it was rebuilt as a Save-a-Lot?
It’s 2015 and two family members still run a business in midtown. A whole block away on 41st Street at Picker Joe’s Antique Mall. We are the Picking Sisters and we’d like to think that somehow our Grandfather, Abraham Rosenzweig , knows that his entrepreneurial spirit lives on (and nearby too).
