Grocery Archaeology

Original Tenant:  unknown Address:  21b Knolls Crescent, Spuyten Duyvil, Bronx, NY Opened:  unknown Closed:  unknown Later Tenants:  Genovese Drug Stores > Eckerd (?) > Rite Aid Photographed:  March 2020 Our first stop is the neighborhood of Spuyten Duyvil , which is across Spuyten Duyvil Creek from Inwood, Manhattan . This is a building that really looks like a former supermarket, especially from the back . It's about 6,000 square feet, and anchors a very small strip mall which makes up really the only commercial section in this small residential neighborhood. And although this is no longer a grocery store, there is a tiny grocery store just to the left (in fact, you can see its awning to the far left in the above picture). We'll be touring that tomorrow on The Independent Edition !

This group of stores coming up next is actually areas we've seen before. For one, we've extensively covered the  northwestern Bronx , though we'll be seeing Spuyten Duyvil, which is kind of northwest of Marble Hill (see  here ); and Riverdale to the northwest of the  store we've already seen . Then we're crossing over into Yonkers, which we've seen previously ( if only briefly! ), for some more extensive coverage. Stay tuned as we start here on Grocery Archaeology tomorrow!
