  Fantastic red indeed certainly against the blue sky. Hope their ‘prime beef’ is any good :)

  The color gives the impression of a solid or strong store. The signs on the window must be of good you buy so it is a restaurant?

  Hi Denton! Great corner or wedge shop. It looks new and well-maintained. I enjoyed seeing the bright colours of the exterior. PS. I’ll join the thumb-nail map after I start blogging regularly again. Have a great day!!

  Having chosen this color, I’m sure they sell gingerbread! I wish you a good Sunday, Denton, now I’m going to see what I have to do to join your great Daily Map.

  What a cool place! I like your choice. Do they pronounce it “mar-ket” or “mar-KET?” :-) I always like buildings set on angles like that.

  For Theme Day, I’m showing a bit of my former store (since it fit the bill) if you’re interested. .

  Lovely! makes me want to pop in for a cuppa and a slice of pie.

  Thanks for the heads-up on the Map. I joined but couldn’t put a red flag on KL. Help?

  I wondered about the name so I looked it up and was somewhat nonplussed to discover it is just a place. Nice shot, though.

  Looks like a meat market. Nice place.

  Charming corner store! With a store spelling like that I must admit that I double checked to see where Greenville was located. I thought it would be in Québec!

  Love the fake Frenchifying of the name.

  Hi all! When I first started visiting Greenville I would turn off 85 onto Augusta to get downtown. The first time I did a couple years ago I saw that store in its dilapidated state. It was white on the outside and not being used. It made me smile as my last name is Marquette, and pronounced mar-KET. Actually there is a Marquette, Michigan and a Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

  I am so glad to see that someone took over this building and made it into what it is today.

  Denton, I love the color of the corner market you feature, but am sorry to see they painted over the upper window lights and weren’t careful with the awning’s overspray. . .perhaps they are still working on it. Good to see it being kept up so attractively. That is so interesting that Ann shares the name of this marquette market. . .punny, punny fun!

  The colour and location( the corner) are just perfect. It does look like a great shop and as you say takes care of the locals needs. Excellent choice.

  This is a fine photo of a corner grocery store, Denton. I’m fascinated by the cut-outs of food in the windows. Also, I agree that the color is great, so neat and eye-catching, and this is my favorite kind of corner store, one with the doorway in the cut-away corner. Nice, very nice!

  Nice photo and attractive building. I was looking for this in Microsoft’s aerial maps and I think this is actually on the corner of Augusta and Sullivan roads?

  Great shot Denton…… I haven’t seen the old Marquette in ages. That place has been there since I was a kid… at least 35-40 years ago. Ann is right, the last time I saw it, it was white and in pretty bad shape. Glad to see it’s back up and thriving….. and like the others… great color !!
