I was disappointed to not be able to access the photo album on Flickr that you mentioned above. I love seeing the old products as they were always in our pantry.

In the late eighties/early nineties, the big bend/141 location had the coldest beer known to mankind. This was the first place I ever purchased liquor ( I was sixteen or seventeen), they weren’t as strict with carding back then.

I worked for national for over 21 years, in their IS department… it was a sad sad day when we learned of the buyout by Schnucks. I miss all the old friends that I worked with over the years.

I remember my mother working at National Food Store in the late 1970′s and the early 1980′s.
She worked at Standard Dell Farms which was a branch of National in Crawfordsville, Indiana
I remember her wearing a bright orange smock.
Plus I remember her working hard and proudly

Hello,

My cousin lived on the first block of Redbud close to WF.

I think my cousin married his friend not too long ago. I think his name is Ronnie.

I think about him every day.

Hey SLUGirl this is Mickey Big Sister. This is a nice shout out to Mickey. Thanks for thinking of him in such a nice way. Just so you know I went to the probation hearing yesturday of one of the killers of Mickey and your letter was read before the probation board. Thanks this may make a difference in the killer not being released. It shows the strong possibility of a life he could have lived if he had not experienced such a horible death. Misty Marr. PS what street did your cousin stay on.

Are you speaking of the Bel Acre store? It was at 8925 Natural Bridge Road. it moved there from two doors done in 1966. The old store became a P.N. Hirsch store. The new National was next to the old Ben Franklin dime store.
