The Encanto Drug stores were owned by a man named
Mickey Ginsberg and his father. The Ginsbergs had a
store on north Stone at University and another on E
Speedway at Craycroft. There were other stores also.
---------------------------------------------------
Now thats the one I worked at, Encanto Drug in 1970 or
so. I forgot about University Ave, but do remember the
Arizona Mortuary was on the corner and what I remember
about Mickey Ginsberg he was a stocky, balding man in
his forties or so. He was very nice to us girls who
worked at the lunch counter and would always leave a
tip when he ate his lunch there even though he worked
just across the store at the Pharmacy and of course
owned the place. But we could hear him sometimes
chastising other employees. Once in awhile his father
would be there and I believe his mother would come in
too. Feels like a hundred years ago now.
