New to forum but just had to respond. I grew up in Mason Park, worked at Mr. Gaeke's watermelon stand when I was seventeen years old, shopped at the grocery store you are speaking of and can tell you it was Piggly Wiggly long before the shopping center was created. Across the street was Madding's Drug Store and a hamburger stand that I think was Chuck Wagon, but not sure. Next to that was a movie theater that even when I was a small child of the 50's, was an adult theater. Don't remember the name but El Ray sounds familiar but I think that was when it changed to a Spanish movie theater.
