That might have been before my time (1980-6; 1992-5), although I used to
pass a little storefront called Mother's Pies on the way to the med
school when I lived in Oak Lawn. I think it was a wholesale operation
at the time.

The one non-food place near the med school that I remember the best is
Elliott's Hardware store. You could buy the usual tools and housewares,
along with your first year medical school anatomy kit. The salespeople
there were so sweet they made WalMart greeters look like surly punks.
