In 1947, Grove Market opened. It offered fresh produce and grocery items, and quickly became a cherished part of the neighborhood.

Pete Savas passed away in 1957, but his sons did indeed take over the market, and the Savas family still runs it today. This wonderful photo shows Pete with his young son Jim in 1949.
