Corner Store #24: Park Avenue Grocery @ 2598 Eton St. The Park Avenue Grocery was located at the corner of Eton and Penticton with no Park in sight.  Perhaps a nod to another street in another city. The building has been entirely refashioned. literal drift recalls visiting a neighboring apartment for fondue and views of collectible exotic fishes in a saltwater aquarium. Curt Lang visited and photographed the old grocery, among others, while treading in the hood. Awaiting to see the new corner tenant and wares. The image below was snapped in 1978. (CVA)
