Here's a fun fact:
TG & Y is mentioned in a rock song. The song is "Van Halen" by the band Nerf Hurder.
The lyrics are as follows: "I bought Van Halen I it was the best damn record I ever owned, TG & Y, 1978."
I don't think they ever made it as far as MA

Re: Musicland/Defunct Record Store Chains Other Than Tower
I remember Blockbuster Music. They had a pretty good selection of music. Here on the island, we just lost a music store: musicall. Nantucket was its only location.

Grandpa's-St. Louis
Anyone remember this chain? I know it lasted up until 1999 when it was acquired by Value City. What other states besides Missouri were they in at the height of their existence, because I thought I saw some stores in Massachusetts, but that could have been some other store.

Big Bunny market
A few years ago(1997) I was in Southbridge,MA and saw a grocery store called Big Bunny. Was it part of a larger chain, or is it an independent?

Super Fresh-does it still exist?
The last time I saw a Super Fresh, was in 2001. In PA, along US 13. It looked rather run down. Does this chain of grocers still exist?
