Jacobsens' Market 707 E. College This looks to be the one where TC Lea would intersect.

Also:

K & S Market @ 900 E. College Further east.

Owens Superette Market 15814 E. US 24

Pricer Market 105 E. College and its neighbor, Chas E Rogers (Market) @ 102 E. College

Speed's Grocery @ 1310 W. 23rd (in the other direction, just for fun)

Here's a better quality shot, but from an direction most people wouldn't have seen it, at least back when it was open. At least one person out there knows what and where, but is giving the rest of you a chance. It's east of Noland.

One of the car lots on US 24, like O & E Motors?

I can't place that apparatus to the right and in front of the house. Might be lighting for a lot.

Or maybe it's Woody's Garage?

Or maybe it's not even on US 24?

It's not O & E, or Woody's Garage, But, it is on 24 east of where Kiddieland was, and on the south side.

The better "view" seems to be the front, with that strange looking apparatus. And yes, I'm cheating looking down Polk's US 24 . . maybe I've got an irrelevant year (1960) but it doesNOT look like one of the motels, or service stations, or motor companies, or garages . . . or a truck weigh station . . .

Elephino!!

Before I give INN, and tell you, here's one more clue: The clearer photo was taken from the rear, from a street that didn't exist at the time this business was operating.
