]]> Comment on Kroger, Smithers WV by Gary fizer http://www.groceteria.com/2009/07/17/kroger-smithers-wv/comment-page-1/#comment-353 Gary fizer Sun, 14 Aug 2011 07:34:04 +0000 http://www.groceteria.com/?p=1567#comment-353 Pardon Me, but This was originally an Evans supermarket. The area where the store was built was a really nice place but most of the houses were moved (not torn down.) through-out the town. We had to move out of our home next to the Belcastros to make way for the parking lot for the store. Dad had just got a new '57 Ford so this was probably late '56. This was also before the back streets of Smithers were paved. Pardon Me, but This was originally an Evans supermarket.
