Re: Cheraw, SC
Having spent a few summers in South Carolina I recall this being a Big Star or a Piggly Wiggly in the mid 1980's. I had relatives in both Cheraw and Hamlet NC which isn't that far away. Someone mentioned the store in Hamlet (photo on this site) and I know that was a Big Star in the summer of 1984 wi...

Re: The Atlanta Kroger they forgot to remodel
There is a supermarket in the corner of the South DeKalb Mall's parking lot across from the former JCPenney. I didn't take a photo of it but I think it was called "Food bazaar" or something like that. It looked like a former Winn-Dixie. I was wondering if that was the case. And I can pictu...

The Atlanta Kroger they forgot to remodel
Kroger in Atlanta Georgia area across from South DeKalb Mall (Candler Road?) with a mix of old and "not so old" sinage. With many Kroger stores having been replaced or remodeled in most of Atlanta, I was surprised to see this store. I have never seen this store before, so I ask the Kroger ...

Re: Publix Markets with "wings" in Florida
I agree that the Nebraska Avenue store in Tampa, FL is a rebuild and not a re-do. I, too, remember its having the center doors and more of the Publix black marble. It is definitely the location I was remembering, but I haven't been by there in a number of years. It had been redone at the time, but ...

Re: Pylon Sign Returns to Winn-Dixie
If you do a search on Google Maps for the address then select the "Street View" you can see the Winn-Dixie behind a city bus stop. The photo shows the old Winn-Dixie before renovations. It is a late 1970's vintage WD and a free standing store. I actually remember this store from at least 2...

Re: Pylon Sign Returns to Winn-Dixie
The pylon itself, the high interior walls and the large air vents suggest that this may be one of their older stores, probably not an attempt at retro designing. But I am curious due to the store's location within Jacksonville - might this be their flagship store? This is probably a new market to s...

Re: Pylon Sign Returns to Winn-Dixie
I don't remember seeing any Winn-Dixie store anywhere that had a pylon sign. And my earliest memories of Winn-Dixie stores dates to the very early 1970's with stores open at time that dated back into the 1940's (pre "winn-Dixie" as in dixie home or winn and lovett). Even some "quik ch...

Re: South Florida GRAND UNION
I never knew of any Grand Union/Grand Way combos. However, there were a few Grand Unions that shared small shopping centers with Zayre. I knew of two in Fort Lauderdale which I mentioned a couple years ago on other threads here. North Andrews Avenue (North of Oakland Park Blvd). The GU would close a...

South Florida GRAND UNION
When I grew up in South Florida, Grand Union had a huge presence until the mid 1980's. Most of the GU locations sat vacant for years, even decades. Most today are unrecognizable from its Grand Union days. The three Grand Union's that were in Boca Raton were replaced with PUBLIX stores. One was exten...

Re: Pantry Pride
You know Edric, I don't remember if this store was a remodel or a new build. I'm gonna guess it was a new build because it looks very similar to a new build south of Dadeland off of US1. The store I speak of was #223, which was a replacement for the original #223 located partially inside the Dadela...

I can not view your jpeg. It is asking for "permission"?
I corrected the links and moved from a private to a public folder. Hopefully they will work.

Re: Wilton Manors A&P Building
Well it took a while (like two years) but I finally returned to my hometown area and took photos of the old A&P on 26th street in Wilton Manors (Ft.Lauderdale) Florida. Was an Italian Restaurant for years, now the Old Florida Seafood House. http://boxstr.com/view/full/4206420_ileee http://boxstr...

Re: Macon Georgia area History (Piggly Wiggly)
Update on two locations mentioned earlier in this thread. The former PW in the message above is in the exact condition 6 months after I posted that photo. Still vacant and still showing its storm damage from the Mother's day tornado that hit Macon Georgia. While its neighboring PEP BOYS and Krispy K...
