The end of an era! This landmark former-Associated-grocery-turned-bodega on Underhill and St. Johns finally closed after ignoring its state of disrepair for years, BK-style. This pic was snapped last summer, well before the beloved remaining letters disappeared. I'd noticed that the shop was closed for a while but assumed the owners were just on summer vacation. But apparently they're renovating it into a organic fruit & veg shop.
