Small independent grocery stores once dotted neighborhoods throughout the United States. Boise had its share of family-run, independently owned stores. The heyday of the corner grocery store is gone but not forgotten. Join Barbara Perry Bauer for a presentation about Boise's neighborhood stores and the lives of the women and men who lived in and worked in them.
