Did you know? For nearly 40 years, the heady scent of fresh roasted coffee wafted through the city streets. The Howard and Casey Wholesale Grocers company was owned by brothers, George W. and Jo T. Howard, and their partner, Samuel T. Casey. Built-in the late 1890s, the building started as a two-story structure. In addition to coffee, peanuts were also roasted and packaged at the wholesale grocery business. The company had barrels of vinegar and kegs of pickles which they broke down into one-gallon glass jugs and sold to small grocers. They sold their own line of spices and table syrup and even sold patent medicines. . . . #bicentennialtriviatuesday #EnjoyMtVernon #SouthernIllinois #Missouri #Tennessee #Indiana #Arkansas #Kentucky #Iowa #Michigan #Wisconsin #ChicagoIllinois #BloomingtonIllinois #StLouisMissouri #EffinghamIllinois #PaducahKentucky #mtvil200 #tourism #MtVernonIllinois #family #roadtrip #carrides #familyvacation #businesstrip #convention #weddingvenues #wedddingplanning #enjoyillinois

Did you know? In order to make mail delivery easier, the city council voted in 1900 to rename the city streets. Starting on the east edge of town, the north-south streets were changed to number names. A house numbering system was also adopted by the council at the same time. . . . #bicentennialtriviatuesday #EnjoyMtVernon #SouthernIllinois #Missouri #Tennessee #Indiana #Arkansas #Kentucky #Iowa #Michigan #Wisconsin #ChicagoIllinois #BloomingtonIllinois #StLouisMissouri #EffinghamIllinois #PaducahKentucky #mtvil200 #tourism #MtVernonIllinois #family #roadtrip #carrides #familyvacation #businesstrip #convention #weddingvenues #wedddingplanning #enjoyillinois

Did you know? On Thursday, March 18, 1943, more than 600 members of the 739th Military Police Battalion marched from Camp Mt. Vernon to the Granada Theatre where they were guests of Manager Homer MARVEL at a special showing of the picture “Immortal Sergeant". Camp officers had inquired on the possibility of arranging a show for the soldiers which is highly regarded by the military as a training film. The movie demonstrates the value of cover in actual warfare on the sands of North Africa, officers stated.
