Re: Former Big Star/Colonial Locations Still Selling Groceri

My sister (who loves to cook) use to live with me - but moved out 12 years ago ... in 2000. Today I had this urge to clean out my kitchen cabinets. Imagine my surprise when I ran across a bottle of sauce from "Big Star." I had forgotten that we had that store here in Lumberton, NC. No one...

One that was still open in Oct. 2009 is in Madison, VA along US 29, pictured from a trip coming back from Charlottesville. Needed a wider angled lens camera, to have gotten much better of a shot I would have been in the road.

Re: Arthur Treacher's Fish and Chips

Groceteria; an update to your post on the Alexandria, VA AT on U.S. 1. It's now closed; about two weeks ago I noticed the signage was out, and is now gone. I went there 3-4 times a year before going to Target next door, or my church essentially across the road. The other location in Alexandria has b...
