Peacefield Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 I guess I shouldn't be surprised, since this was probably back in the 40's/50's. Have you ever been to or driven by Omer's Market?
AbielleRose Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 It sounds vaguely familliar. What part of town is it in?
Peacefield Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 It's on North Main, and is still in business I believe. My grandparents were the original owners wayyy back in the 30's .
AbielleRose Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Is that the one on the corner of Russell and Main? I drive by that every day to work!
Peacefield Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 It is, yep! That's so funny you drive by there! My grandparents sold it in the 60's, but the new owner's kept the same name .
AbielleRose Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 That is so cool! It's one of those places that is so ingrained into your mind that I can remember exactly where it is and how it looks like and the shape of the sign but can never remember the name. It must be kind of nice to have a little family landmark like that. I'll have to stop in sometime!
Rawr Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Isn't it strange how small you realise the world is at times like that, when someone is walking around the places that you have walked in your life and now you are communicating over a book message board on the internet? It's strange!
AbielleRose Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 It is. In a way it's nice to know that we are all connected somehow.
Rawr Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Yes, i agree, it is comforting how everyone connects in such subtle ways
Peacefield Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Yep, such a small world! My mom and her fam lived behind that little market her whole life, and now here we are talking about it all these years later.
AbielleRose Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 I'm sad to say that I've never looked around that area much. I drive past it twice every M-F. I don't know exactly where in the TC you are but I lived in Forest Lake until I was 6. I don't remember much but I remember all of the trees and going to Twins games. I loved the trees in MN.
ned Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 The internet is crazy, my grandad in Guernsey met his brother from whom he was separated during WWII, over the internet in 2003
AbielleRose Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 That is so cool ned! I'm starting to think we should move our little convo elsewhere before the mods interject...
Rawr Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Pancakes. I think i will have some tomorrow. And yes, i find all of these things cool too
Peacefield Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Jesus toast! I live in the SW 'burbs CaliLily, and I agree, the trees are the best!
ned Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Ah right, i would have said that but i never know what to say on forums, i have had some bad experiences. Jesus toast, yes i know of it. To be honest i'd be more exicted if Elvis turned up on my toast
