352 Grove Street
























352 Grove St.
La Conga Supermarket

La Conga has one of downtown's best storefronts-- funky and dated, but still well-maintained and (hopefully) thriving. The printed awning text is full of character, and the handpainted signs above reveal a lot about the Grove Street of decades past. I especially like that three of the five grocery items on the front of their store are animals depicted in perfect, living barnyard form. Perhaps the signage is a non-verbal advertisement for their fresh meats. Maybe a warning to vegetarians?
