Bodiddle's - My grandfather liked to stop into this "grocery store" on occasion. As I was often his charge, I skipped into this legendary establishment behind him. I don't remember the grocery part, but I do remember bar stools, ice cold root beers (and beers) with tissue papers wrapped around them!
