Just returned from my holiday road trip to Charleston WV, Pittsburgh, and Richmond, and I have photos to share. Info on any of the questionable or unidentiied stores is very much solicited.

Read on/see photos...

Some jerk has stolen an entire page from this site and posted it on his own site (images linked directly from my server and all) without attribution, and he didn’t even include a link to the page he stole it from. Far be it from me to suggest that you add a comment telling him what you think of that, but…

Update: The page was removed shortly after I commented on his site and rather creatively updated the photos he'd leeched.

Wow. What happened to November?

Anyway, the semester from hell is now pretty much officially over (I submitted my last two papers today), and I'm hoping to be a little more active here in the coming weeks. For now, I'll leave you with this nice shot of the former Food Fair store at Cherry Hill Mall in New Jersey. You don't often see supermarkets as a part of enclosed malls. In fact, it's an obscure enough topic to have its own thread on the message board.

Behold the groovy, modern Mayfair Market at LA's Century City, circa 1968. These photos come from a Progressive Grocer study of new stores published that year. This one is partcularly interesting because it was part of a high-rise office and residential complex, which made it somewhat ahead of its time in those days. Note the interesting column treatment below. I have no idea where in the complex this store was located, nor what is there now.
