Colonial/Big Star Dawson, Georgia

[Crepehanger]

Does anyone know where the Colonial/Big Star in Dawson, Georgia was located? Anyone happen to know if the building is still standing?

I assume this would be the current Harvey's market in Downtown Dawson. It is one of the oldest supermarket buildings in town, the other one being a tiny former A&P on the same street several blocks north.

No, the current Harveys was the former Piggly Wiggly. I can remember as a small boy that my grandmother went to that Piggly Wiggly but did not go to Colonial/Big Star because it was "too expensive." However, I never knew where the Colonial was since I did not live in the area.
