Cahaly Lures Hippies With Psychedelic Bait

John Cahaly, son of world famous Ralph Cahaly and co-owner of Cahaly's Market, will open an op-pop-psychedelic shop on Thursday afternoon. "Serendipity," next door to the staid, venerable market, adds a seventh element to the flower power battle in the Square.

Why does a grocer diversify into psychdelia? "I just sort of like the stuff," Cahaly answered. The idea to convert the market's storage room occurred to him several years ago, but he didn't have enough time to put the new shop together until this past summer.

The 29-year old grocer was undecided yesterday whether he would schedule a celebration to mark the grand opening.
