Summary

At the time of this photo, this was White's Store, the first self-service grocery store in Brunswick. This building was also the home of the original City Meat Market for several years before 1930 and Weedy's prior to that.

The building was later home to John's Super Market, The Blade Times, Tom Water's Dance Studio, the original King's Pizza and Yonnie's Beauty Parlor, among others. The building partially collapsed just before Railroad Days in 2008

I was told White's was the first self-service grocery store in Brunswick. In the past, customers would come in and ask the clerk to take items down off the tall shelves. White's began the trend in which customers would put the items in a basket or cart and take them over to the clerk to be rung up...Peter

Jeanell Morsberger Willis: I remember this building as Tom Water's dance studio, the steps to the right led to Sis Foster's home. She taught me to crochet.
