    I don't think that's where the YMCA is now. The YMCA is on the odd numbered side of the block. If the grocery store's address was 1000 P Street, it was across from the YMCA where the Embassy Suites now takes up the entire block. The YMCA is an old building, and may have even co-existed with this grocery store. The grocery was probably at the northwest corner of 10th and "P," across from the bus station and diagonal from the old courthouse.
