There was an exhibit of a "corner store." This of course was one of my favs. The corner store is marvelous. Where else can you get milk, alka-seltzer, sparklers, fresh deli items, and an eye-glass repair kit a block or less from your house?
When I first moved here about 10 years ago, there were a lot more corner stores. Now they seem to be fading fast. The ones that seem to hang on have moved into a niche. They cater to a particular ethnic population or they offer up gourmet items or they've somehow obtained a liquor license to sell beer and wine.
At any rate, the corner store has been and I hope will continue to be a cornerstone of Baltimore and this exhibit pays homage to it.
They had a large canned goods display. . .Consisting entirely of items produced in Maryland at one time. I moved this can of shad roe from the shelf temporarily to get a good pic.
Yes, I'm sure there was no sign that said "Do not Touch."
