If this was Taylors Market, the year would have been 1959/l960. Ronald Gray was in Miss O'Keefe's 4th class at Johnson School and died in that fire.

This is NOT Marty's Store, Magnolia Terrace was right next to it and my Grandfather Anthony Parrino live there, So I went by there everyday. Marty's store was on the ground floor all brick and there were three floors of apartments above. I remember watching the building burn and the horrible death of some one jumping out the window to escape the flames.
