My life has been happier since I installed a plugin that hides all YouTube comments.

Re: NEW: Québec City, 1935-1976
Québec City directries are here . They're bilingual from the outset, but are pretty much French-only by the 1950s. Québec City never really had the anglophone population that Montréal did. The big issue is French word order for both street and store names. Instead of, say, "Tremblay Foods"...

Re: Mystery restaurant with frying pan-shaped sign
For the record, I had no idea about the Mary Brown’s connection in Canada. I was just in Toronto two weeks ago and stopped in a Mary Browns. Great chicken, and yes, it did taste like my childhood memories of Golden Skillet.
So anyway, thanks for that pointer!

Re: NEW: Winchester and Harrisonburg VA
I would guess the ABC application would mean it opened in 2008. It was vacant by 2011, which is earlier than the other Food Lion closures in the area.

Re: NEW: Winchester and Harrisonburg VA
I actually had that address but it kept not resolving with Google Maps before, so I pulled it till I could look further (and then forgot). I'll add it back in. It was only listed as Kroger in 1995. I didn't see a Food Lion listing in any subsequent directories, but they're always less accurate after...

I hope to get a few things ironed out when I can get hold of the print directories again,

NEW: Springfield OH 1925-2020 (good one)
OK, this one is fascinating. Springfield was a fairly large city through much of the 20th century, and there was a lot more to uncover here that I initially expected. I ended up going a little deeper into the research on this one than I sometimes do. Enjoy. Or don't. Your call. https://www.groceteri...

Re: Safeway La Junta, CO
Despite the fact that they were relatively new when the site began, those interiors are pushing 30 now so I think they definitely qualify as “history” at this point.storewanderer wrote: ↑23 Jun 2023 01:16Still some other mid 90's interiors lingering around CO but I don't think we are very interested in those interiors on this site.
