Location of Vernors first store?

Was there a store near Boston where the cooler was said to be invented?

From what I've read, it was just named after Boston Blvd. Probably to make it seem that the wealthy folks who lived there liked the soda so it would seem desirable.

I believe that 235 Woodward was near the corner of Clifford under to old addressing system. Once the soft drink was a big success though, Vernor closed the drug store and moved the operation to a larger building on Woodward near the river, where Hart Plaza is today. That's the one that older Detroiters like my father remember.
