I haven’t been chatty lately, but I have added new stuff over the past couple of months. New location lists: BIG updates: I’m especially excited about the Toronto updates. This was a major expansion helped along by access I now have to a lot more digitized material that has allowed me to fill in a good number of franchise and other gaps. Toronto is one of my “adopted hometowns” and is one of the places I want to give a special focus to, so there will be more to come. I’ll be adding more photos and also expanding the timeline. The content on Groceteria comes from three primary sources: the main site, the message board, and the Google Sheets that generate the location lists. Right now, you can’t search across all those. The easiest (and free) way to accomplish that is to add a custom Google search to the site. I don’t love that option (especially the look and feel and the ads) but I’m testing different things and this is thing number one. Try this and let me know what you think. It’s an external link because I don’t want to take it live as a search box on the site yet. In case you haven’t taken a look recently, this is how the map of location lists is looking these days. Just added tonight: a quick look at Brockville, Ontario.Updates since, uh, the last update
