    Remember when it was normal to shake someone’s hand when you see them.

    3 stores that I have heard of, but never seen. There aren't any in New England. There are a lot of food chains that aren't up here either.

    We had Burger Chefs, as teens we would buy the hamburger and turn it into 4" tall creation with all the "fixings"

    I wonder how many know what exactly A & P stands for? Hint: It is not for going to the A and pee.

    Yup!

    We had a nice one not so far from us. They closed back in the early 70's and discounted the food way down. People were on that sale like crows on a deer carcass...... or a preview of black friday things to come!!

    Used to get produce trimmings for the rabbits from them. I miss that store.
