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.

My father was once the manager of that TG & Y. When I was growing up, I used to go down to Dearman's and read comic books all day. Years later, when I also was working for TG&Y, I presided over the closing of that store. A new larger family center store was opened in the Drusilla shopping center.

Not a problem. I grew up on Chevelle and my grandmother shopped that A&P twice a day Monday-Saturday and once on Sunday. She only cooked once on Sundays.
