re: Rouse's rumor

Ok. I was just typing. I'm an old A&P fan.

And the linked thread: Calvin's started out as a Winn Dixie with a TG & Y Five and Dime next to it along with Dearmans Rexall Drugstore, Aurthurs Barber Shop, Keans Laundry and Wade Lemoines Esso ( which was where LaMadeline is now and it was called Twin Cedars Shopping Center. Old Hammond and Jefferson were two lanes with deep ditches.

Calvin's then became Bocage IGA ( if it was a Piggly Wiggly it was short lived) and it was owned by Zigler who also owned the Acadian IGA next to the Caterie and an IGA on Scenic somewhere across from Exxon in that area.

Calvin was a bag boy and when Zigler wanted out Dr Hill toted the note for Calvin.

Sorry Slash for the hijack. Just bored.
