I love the Las Palmas Market, Las Palmas at Fountain. Built in 1912, it's a genuine mom 'n' pop establishment, rare in this 7-11 era. I've known it close to 40 years and it has not changed one bit. It's called the Red Market or just "Red's" by locals. You can buy
anything here, but they seem to mostly sell Lotto tix, beer & cigarettes. Street parking only. Often used as a filming location (mostly getting robbed...though that's never happened in real life in living memory). I hope it lasts until I'm gone, b/c I'd really miss it.
