Hi Sonny,

You show Baton Rouge in a good light.? Nice character to the images.

I know nothing of the history of your grocery store, but can cite a 
similar situation.? During the depression of the early 1930s, one of 
three banks in my small Mississippi home town failed.? An enterprising 
young man converted it into a coffee shop and small cafe, and rented 
safety deposit boxes to his customers.
