I remember when Shoppers Fair on Plank Road burned down. Located behind that Shoppers Fair was a Kroger Grocery store. I remember getting a hamburger at Blue Bird on Plank Road. That Blue Bird later became Franks. I also remember Hemmingways(sp) Furniture on Plank Road. Whenever I wanted a cold drink I would go to the Frost Top on Plank Road and get a root beer in a frozen mug.

Godchaux's
every one I knew in the 80s hated them.

Actual quote from a girl waiting in line at Holmes (or Dillard's?): "This place is worse than Godchaux's... No, NO PLACE is worse than Godchaux's!"

Can't understand the nostalgia for them

I won't post their nickname as it might be deemed sacreligious
