George, Fritz and the rest of the Simon family helped make downtown what it is today! The store sat across from the park in what is now the American Management building. Any child's favorite part of shopping was getting a smiley face cookie from the bakery. Later the baker opened up his own store known as Ed’s Bakery! They still sell those iconic smiley cookies!(Submitted on December 2, 2023, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)
