Hmmm, as I’ve noted before, wouldn’t it be great if there were a website that documented chain supermarket locations like these with the Bay Area as one of its focus areas?

Yup. That’s it.

Since it's on land that used to be an army base, I'm guessing that it might have been the PX.

Happy Wednesday. A quickie:

My life has been happier since I installed a plugin that hides all YouTube comments.

Québec City directries are here . They're bilingual from the outset, but are pretty much French-only by the 1950s. Québec City never really had the anglophone population that Montréal did. The big issue is French word order for both street and store names. Instead of, say, "Tremblay Foods"...

This one was a bit of a challenge (see notes):

For the record, I had no idea about the Mary Brown’s connection in Canada. I was just in Toronto two weeks ago and stopped in a Mary Browns. Great chicken, and yes, it did taste like my childhood memories of Golden Skillet.

So anyway, thanks for that pointer!

I would guess the ABC application would mean it opened in 2008. It was vacant by 2011, which is earlier than the other Food Lion closures in the area.

I actually had that address but it kept not resolving with Google Maps before, so I pulled it till I could look further (and then forgot). I'll add it back in. It was only listed as Kroger in 1995. I didn't see a Food Lion listing in any subsequent directories, but they're always less accurate after...

Great stuff. I will work on getting these added as soon as I can!

This one has some issues (noted on the page) and information/corrections are solicited:

I hope to get a few things ironed out when I can get hold of the print directories again,
