There's a Boston Market here in Scottsdale about 2 miles from where I live............

Could anyone here please enlighten me as to the history of Baskin-Robbins' architectural styles owing to the style of architectures as well as the signage? http://www.groceteria.com/board/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=3052 The old "ragtime/circus 31" logo many of us have remembered was first u...

The "generics" era was the time of double-digit inflation, they were supposedly even cheaper than the store brand and were basically slightly lower in quality than the store brand. There was even a generic "beer" which was made by the infamous Falstaff brewery I remember the 'ge...

are you saying that the first store in Pa. opened in the early 80's? My mother in law thinks she remembers buying materials from the Woodlyn store in the late 60's. No, back in the late 60's, Hechinger was only in the Washington DC area. The first store outside of DC was Annapolis MD. And that was ...

Paper or Plastic wrote:unknown on the Thrifty ice cream.. but it would taste better than cold stone. Their product reeks of flavoring chemicals.

Thrifty ice cream had quite a good rep in the day............

Another swing through Hemet, along Florida/Hwy 74. Truly is a flash to the past...with so many evident/former businesses: Naugles=La Cabana--the first site as you go east. Wienerschnitzl=La Cabana--the 2nd one (address is 2244). Naugles=former site is now Del Taco (towards the end of Florida/74) Ch...

McDonalds at Lee Hwy just W of Glebe Rd in Arlington, Va: started out as a Golden Arch unit then remodeled to a mansard ca. 1975. Left NoVa in 1978.

We had a (probable) Pioneer Chicken here in Tempe, Az. at the corner of Broadway and Rural; the building is still there.

Burger Chef: I remember the one in south Arlington, Va. on Glebe Rd, it was actually south of I 95. Note this was ca. 1977 in all fairness.

The Acme was at Lee Highway and Graham Road. Grand Union/Great Valu was Annandale Road and Arlington Blvd. Do you know if the nearby Loehmann's has closed? I wonder why the Giant-anchored center is named after that store instead. Loehmann's is bankrupt and closed their only other store remotely clo...

I remember a Food Fair/Pantry Pride along Rte 7 near Bailey's Crossroads. Note my family didn't move to NoVa from Silver Spring till 1969.

I remember an Alphy's in Van Nuys ca. 1982 but; for the life of me, can't remember its exact location. E of Van Nuys Blvd near Victory or Vanowen?

The People's Drug on Lee Hwy near Glebe Rd in Arlington had a lunch counter, but it was gone ca. 1975-76 if memory holds me correctly.

On the way back...was able to swing again through the booming Blythe. Had not looked at the Ford dealer...until I found the other posting. Yup. Indeed had been a grocery store. Will try to actually stop into the dealer next time to see if there are any remnants from Safeway. What is funny tho...is ...

It is odd that Wal-Mart has not entered Blythe (a city of around 10,000)-an understored, isolated town. The closest big city is Yuma. And for weirder yet: Parker, Az which is maybe only 30-40 miles N of Blythe has a Wal-Mart, a nice Safeway and a Bashas--------yet has only ca. 3K people. Admittedly...
