Re: Fredericksburg, Virginia
By 1985 the A&P had been converted to Super Fresh, it lasted until 1987-88 before closing. At the other end of the center was the K-Mart, it closed about the same time and moved west on Route 3 to a new center anchored by a new Giant. Across the street in the Westwood Center was a late 70s/early...

Re: Fredericksburg, Virginia

Re: Acme in Virginia
Acme had a minimal presenses in Virginia. In the 1960s there was an Acme store about three miles from my home outside Alexandria. It was built in the early to mid 1960s and closed in the 70s. The building is still standing but has been sub-divided into four small store fronts.
