In 1926, in what is now Grammercy Gallery, Mr. Cannon opened one of the most prominent grocery stores in Medina. In 1942 Mr. Cannon's daughter Ida took over the reigns and became an iconic Medina figure until 1972. People can still remember her glasses perched upon her nose as she made pleasant small talk and bagged all of the groceries by hand, tying a colorful ribbon around each bag for a personal touch. Medina residents also recall the huge block of cheese Ida had sitting on the counter, looking more aged and molded each time shoppers came in for more groceries. Perhaps the most comical memory residents have of Cannon's Grocery is of the delivery boys racing the old "Cannonball" up and down the city streets: Ms. Cannon's 1930s station wagon was used to make special home deliveries. | Source: Medina County Historical SocietyDownload Original File
