My brother worked there for Larry S. They had the best deli back then.

I saw Mr Larry at the gym about 10 years ago and he was getting in shape to become a sheriff until he could retire. Guess he got out of the store business.

They used to run Kelly's Food Mart on Plank Road too. I always thought it was cool when I was hanging out with Derek that we could walk in the store and grab what we wanted.

Growing up in Tanglewood we used to ride our bikes to Mays AG on the corner of Lovett and Joor. You could cut through the back of the neighborhood and a field to get there.

It's a fenced in parking lot across from Shell now. That little strip mall has been gone a long time now.
