It's surprising that these tiny grocery stores still exist in my mom's neighborhood.

She prefers shopping here than walking a couple more blocks to the supermarket.

The shopkeepers remember what she usually buys.

Atony hardware store and "mesticheria"... which doesn't have a direct equivalent in English.

Turns out "mesticheria" is a Tuscan word for small shops selling detergents, home maintenance tools, etc.

The term derives from the Latin "mixtus", therefore it's a "miscellaneous store".
