Re: What if they tore down the Food Fair but left the pylon?
The question now becomes why not just tear down everything pylon and all? Don't get me wrong-I'm glad they left it but it's just kind of odd.

... Simpson Ferry closer to Mechanicsburg for a while. A bit further down from said Weis is a Grocery Outlet which is one of the former central PA Food Lion locations. David's location list also shows an independent there prior to Food Lion and originally an A&P.

Re: What if they tore down the Food Fair but left the pylon?

Re: What if they tore down the Food Fair but left the pylon?
If memory serves, this is Camp Hill correct? Drove by it many times heading down to Northern Va over the years. Somewhere before that when you're headed south on the opposite side of the road there was a Weis that dates back to the '60's I believe.
