I loved the picture of that Neumann Grocery, but was quite surprised by
the variety of fruits and veg available in Detroit way back then! Did
you notice all the pineapples, artichokes, star fruit, bananas? It seems
transport of produce from far distances was well established and the
fruit all looked in fabulous condition.
