Thanks Dave. Southside Plaza and the shopping center directly across from it are very interesting to me. At the other center I saw the remains of an old colonial A&P and a huge anchor that was a flea market. What was that originally? Was there ever a second grocery in Southside (besides Giant)? ...

Does anyone recognize this location and what has it been replaced by? I scanned these images from old slides. The street sign says Roosevelt Blvd and I know this was somewhere near Nazareth Hospital. This is probably from the late 50's. I don't recognize this style Food Fair building without the tow...

Hi Dave. Thanks so much for sharing your photos with us. I know the work involved and it was a pleasure viewing the new ones. You solved two of my mysteries. I never knew Ukrops was in that very old store on Hull St Rd. I was in that store last year and it still had some old wall decorations that ap...

Don't know the chain, but this photo itself isn't extremely old. On the wall behind the man at the managers desk is a Verifone Tranz terminal used as an employee timeclock (they also make the familiar credit card verification devices). They were most common in the 90's. I agree with the person that ...
