Great story Johns! Can’t wait to share with Nadia! We are in Mt. Vernon alllll of the time! The last time I was in an old time pharmacy was when I was a student at BSA (many moons ago). The property at Madison & Park on the right side …. was a pharmacy and they served the best chicken salad sandwiches. It was like going back in time. I think it is now a residential property.
I worked in the early 1980s in a now closed local pharmacy with a soda fountain and a sidewalk street service window called Morgan's Drugstore. It was in the quaint little town of Gloucester, Virginia. Wonderful business where kids could get ice cream and balloons on a stick. Yes, I'm old.
Hyman Davidov might have been the original owner of Davidov's Pharmacy on Edmondson Ave. next to the Westway Movie Theater. I worked there part time as a soda jerk in the 1960's when I was in High School. The owner then was I. M. Ruddie. Coincidently, I often visited MacGillivray's when I went to school downtown. At that time there was a soda fountain in the rear of the store.
Seriously, a wine shop revitalized a neighborhood? A local grocery or bakery, yeah that I could believe. In Newark, NJ you find either two bars and a church or two churches and a bar on every block. It's done nothing to revitalize Newark's neighborhoods.
A wonderful story! Thanks to all of the folks in the Mt. Vernon Neighborhood who came together to save this building!
How wonderful this store will still be a Neighborhood Treasure for times to come. Another wonderful nugget of history, Baltimore Heritage! Well Done!
Thank you Jacqueline!
I own a small flat just three blocks away on Saint Paul Street. I love my neighborhood so much. Thanks for reminding me!
Its a fabulous neighborhood!
Love this video as someone who lived in mt vernon and has frequently drank and purchased wine at spirits
What a neat story! Thanks for sharing, I've lived on Read street for years and had no clue about any of this!

Sounds like a lovely job.
Excellent product placement! Hope they threw you a bottle or two?
I bet there are quite a few "other" spirits in that historic building as well! 👻
Are the upper floors of the building occupied?
Yes they are apartments!
