Year built, 1968? Funny, I have heard 1962, 1968, and 1972 so far... 1968 seems most accurate. Is it possible the Dollarland (and Save-A-Lot) opened as soon as Acme moved out? This store had a whole different logo than the other Dollarlands. And when exactly did Dollarland close? All I know is they were gone by summer 2003. And does anyone notice any clues this was an Acme, not relying on a roof view?
See the side vents in this newer photo?: http://www.ameliasgroceryoutlet.com/woodlyn-b.jpg
Could they be left from Acme? These look like the vents found in 50's and 70's Acmes, but I am not sure about A Frames. Most A Frames had a "warehouse ceiling".
