I see Shasta around here now and then in some crappy discount stores. Wal-Mart carries RC Cola. I don't know if that is as obscure as I think it is, but I can never seem to find it in Shoprite, Hannaford, etc. And I love RC Cola. And now about Slice. Awhile back I was doing product demonstrations as...

Is the abandoned Caldor the store on Route 211, between the old Orange Plaza Mall and the old Lloyd's/current Stop & Shop? If so, this was once a White's-Modell's. Yep, that's the one. I do recall my mom telling me it used to be something else. The only things left in the plaza are an auto part...

I hope you have enjoyed my pictures. I have a few more in mind (Woolworth's downtown [the doors still say Woolworth's] and the ShopRite/Big-V in Florida). If there is anything else anyone wants to see or get more info about, just let me know. RE: Safeway - my mom doesn't remember the Safeway being o...

I'm going to try to go out today and get some pictures. On my list: ShopRite on 211, A&P downtown, Acme Supermarket downtown, Caldor, Playtogs, & Waldbaums. For those of you who have been to Middletown, the Pizza Hut on Dolson is all gone. It closed the day after Christmas. It's been torn do...

While the building is clearly not a "marina" per se, the second photo of yours shows what might be the top edge of the old Circle S logo! My mom says she definately remembers the S logos on both ends of the buildings, now covered by signs. I think you guys might be interested in the old S...

Does she know how long that store lasted as a Safeway? I think what'd be intriguing is trying to figure out what division this fit under, with Safeway having left NYC in the mid-1960s... When I was checking out the archives for the Remembering Retail yahoo mailing list, there was some talk of a Pen...

Sorry to bump an old thread but I live in Middletown, NY and I saw you guys were talking about it. My mom says that Broadloom City was indeed a Safeway. The Shop-Rite on Dolson Avenue is still there, the Waldbaum's is a Redner's Warehouse Market, and Playtogs is a flea market & National Wholesal...
