Several people in front of a corner store with large front windows decorated with a snowman and a hanging Blue Boy Ice Cream sign.

Irnea Mulvey's store at 193 East North Street.

Join Historic Geneva Curator John Marks for a short and informal program at Lake Drum Brewing. This month, he will share a captioned slide show of historical images of Geneva's neighborhood stores. Prior to the ubiquity of the automobile and large supermarkets, Geneva had dozens of corner stores within walking distance of many homes in its residential neighborhoods. Where did they go? Discuss the corner stores in Geneva's past and share your memories of the ones you recall.

Come in any time, stay as long as you like! The slides will run on a continuous loop throughout the time. John will be available to chat and welcomes people with stories and photos to share for future programs.
