Wow. I have another reason to loathe Rite-Aid. They killed off Thrifty and Payless out here on the West Coast, closing down nearly all the stores in favor of dinky little stores with no windows and excessively dark parking lots. My great-grandmother shopped at Eckerd for years, oddly enough the loca...

1985 movie: "The Stuff"
Any ideas on what chain this was? The logo on the aisle hanger looks like it might be a Shop Rite logo, but it's so far away and tiny it's hard to be certain. The font on the wall lettering, however, looks similar to what was used at a Piggly Wiggly I frequented in Florida. Since the movie was suppo...

Oh, OK, the Best building was demolished, then. Before the Petsmart opened, there was a dirt lot at the end of the center. (It had been a lot since at least 1986 or 1987 -- we visited the center a lot because I forced my mom to shop at the Safeway there up until it closed) I had always wondered why ...

Some locations: -- Blackstone Avenue near Shaw, Fresno. Now somebody's Country Kitchen. That would be a BJ's Kountry Kitchen. I am not positive it was a Sambo's location, but I know it was a Denny's as it still has the distinctively shaped Denny's sign frame. I have been meaning to check with the c...

Old Safeway Cart Spotted
I saw this cart in a parking lot over the weekend. The first thing I noticed (apart from the "S" logo) was how small it was. It was about the size of a Thrifty Drug cart. Anybody have any ideas when this cart might have been used? Every Safeway I was ever in back in the day used those tall...

Went in this store today, and the new owners have pretty much wrecked the interior. Gone are the 1960's gondola shelving, replaced by nasty yellow warehouse shelving, complete with auction company stickers and old shelf labels from whatever store used these before. Now the place feels like you're in...
