Summary
An inscription on the back of this photo read: "Moler's Market 207 East Potomac Street, Forrest (Red) Moler, Sr." This is likely an early photo of Moler's store at this location.
The backstory is that Forrest Moler Jr. bought this store in 1957 from Churchman & Ridgeway following the tragic death of Jimmy Ridgeway in a small plane crash. For a time, veteran grocer and railroader Red Moler, who had sold his interest in the New York Hill Market several years before, ran the store while Junior attended to the family farm.
All memories of this store and its transition are welcome. Moler's Food Market was the last of the neighborhood grocery stores to close in 1990. It was deeply missed.
