Re: Current Events Forum
For those with access to Usenet, there is alt.retail.grocery, which would be another good place to discuss current events, and would be good for those not comfortable with a moderator.

I really like the idea of restaurants in department stores. The only one I know of now is Nordstroms in Santa Barbara, CA. Any others? ugh the 60's.

Re: 7175 N. Lincoln Ave., Lincolnwood IL
This one's pretty beautiful, methinks. I vaguely remember seeing a photo of a similarly-style Jewel at some point, but I'm not 100% certain. Could just be a very nice independent or some other chain. Ideas welcome. Looks quite similar to a Kohl's pictured on this page: http://groceteria.com/stores/...

This whole thread is getting me sort of nostalgic for a trip to a Kmart from, say, 1975, where we can all have cheeseburgers at the cafeteria, stick our hands through the plexiglass to look at 8-tracks, and then stand in line for half an hour while the cashiers tear off every price tag and put it i...
